You may notice the TIPA website looks a little different—it marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter. What began as a single, comprehensive course is now a full learning platform designed to support inventors at every stage of their journey. With the addition of new courses, TIPA is now truly an academy—one that meets learners wherever they are and provides them with tools and resources for their innovation journey.

While our core content is still here, we’ve expanded our offerings to give you more ways to learn, explore, and take action.

On our Courses page, you’ll now find two new options alongside our full-length course: Patent Essentials and (coming soon) Creating Value From Your Patents.

Patent Essentials

Patent Essentials is a streamlined, accelerated version of our full-length, three-module course. It focuses on the most practical material from each module, including how to protect your intellectual property and how to apply for a patent.

We created this course for learners who want a faster path through the same foundational content—without sacrificing critical course materials.

Creating Value From Your Patents

Creating Value From Your Patents is an all-new course focused on the business side of inventing and intellectual property. It explores how to think about commercialization, strategy, and the real-world value of your ideas.

We recommend taking this course alongside either the full-length or accelerated course, since it covers important topics not included in the patenting curriculum.
