Akron-Summit County Public Library has been a Patent and Trademark Resource Center (PTRC) since 1995. PTRCs are a nationwide network of public, academic, and special libraries spread throughout the United States. We offer access to resources from the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) in various formats, including instructional classes, books, databases, and handouts. Join us for Introduction to Intellectual Property to learn about patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets, what they are, how to get them, and how you can use them to protect your creative work.
