Summary
Small Business Innovation Protection Act of 2017
This bill directs the Small Business Administration to develop partnership agreements that provide for:
- development of high-quality training for small businesses related to domestic and international protection of intellectual property,
- leveraging of training materials already developed for the education of inventors and small businesses, and
- participation of a nongovernmental organization.
These agreements must also provide training:
- through electronic resources, including Internet-based webinars; and
- at physical locations, including a small business development center (SBDC) and the headquarters or a regional office of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
The bill amends the Small Business Act to require services at an SBDC to include training, in person or through a website, relating to:
- domestic and international intellectual property protections, and
- how those protections should be considered in the business plans and growth strategies of small businesses.
