BETHESDA, Md. – Timothy Trainer, Galaxy Systems, Inc.'s President, announced, "At a time when much of the focus on copyright, trademark and patent issues seems limited to enforcement, we are happy to announce that we have our first subscriber agreement for our new intellectual property online interactive educational tool. There are many industry representatives and government officials traveling worldwide to address intellectual property and we wanted to add what we believe is a fresh element to this discussion. We are, therefore, happy to announce that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office is our first subscriber and will use it to inject some fun into training and raising awareness."
Galaxy Systems, Inc.'s online interactive tool is aimed at demonstrating the value of intellectual property to those who may have no legal or technical background. For years, government and industry have been searching for effective messages to address the rampant violation of copyrights, trademarks and other forms of intellectual property without much success.
"The enforcement message is important, but so, too, is the message that intellectual property is something to be recognized and applied in daily economic activity. There is a positive intellectual property message that should also be promoted. We hope that this is just the beginning of adding a new and active element to raising awareness about intellectual property. Our tool seeks to challenge individuals, interact with the idea of intellectual property, think about it and learn while playing. We hope this is the first of many steps in further development of this online interactive approach," Trainer said.
