The University of Iowa Lichtenberger Engineering Library is now part of a select group of higher education institutions across the country—and only one in Iowa—to be designated a Patent and Trademark Resource Center (PTRC) by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

The PTRC enables individual inventors, entrepreneurs, researchers, and students at the University of Iowa, as well as throughout the state, to tap into the rich resources provided by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s vast networks of intellectual property experts.

The Lichtenberger Engineering Library offers a number of valuable opportunities to learn more about intellectual property, including one-on-one assistance, trainings, and workshops.
