IP Panorama for SMEs from WIPO available in Arabic

According to the WIPO website IP Panorama is "The Most Advanced E-learning Content on Intellectual Property for your Business". Available in Arabic here. WIPO go on to say that:
  • IP PANORAMA was developed jointly by the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO), the Korea Invention Promotion Association (KIPA), and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) under a project entitled, ‘The Joint Development of E-learning Content’ from 2004 to 2007.
  • IP PANORAMA was designed to help SMEs utilize and manage Intellectual Property (IP) in their business strategy. In the past, most of the IP education materials had a legal orientation, even though businesses had a real need for a business-oriented IP education. IP PANORAMA increases IP-awareness among enterprise sector and a wide range of university students by providing practical knowledge about using IP for business success.
  • IP PANORAMA relies on a brand new instructional design strategy based on ‘Storytelling’ along with educational technology. The learning content of each module was designed with a practical story regarding intellectual property. It is informative as well as interesting.
  • IP PANORAMA deals with IP issues from a business perspective, especially focusing on the situation of SMEs.
Consisting of 13 modules IP Panorama appears to provide a good introduction to IP to any small or medium sized business.

This part of the Empty Quarter does not know how long the materials have been available in Arabic but welcomes the fact that WIPO have made them available.
