BETHESDA, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Timothy Trainer, Galaxy Systems, Inc.s President stated The Patent and Trademark Offices use of our online intellectual property (IP) tool for its training and education efforts is a great development. This reflects our goals to make IP education fun and informative. While there continues to be significant emphasis and focus on enforcement, our tool facilitates a different way of focusing on the positive aspects of IP by allowing users to see the links between IP and economic and business development.

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.

The enforcement message is important, but the message that intellectual property is something to be recognized and applied in daily business and economic activity needs the same level of attention. There is a positive intellectual property message that should 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 enable individuals to interact and become familiar with intellectual property, think about it and learn while playing, Trainer said. Hopefully, for those who are negatively predisposed to IP, the use of our online tool will help people see IP in a different and positive light.

Mr. Trainer established Galaxy Systems, Inc., in 2007. The enterprise aims to provide a creative and broad-based learning approach that focuses less on the legal and technical aspects of intellectual property and promotes the general application of intellectual property to grow businesses. A video communicating IPs benefits is available at http://www.galaxysystemsinc.com/ipr. Mr. Trainers intellectual property experience includes positions as past president of the International AntiCounterfeiting Coalition, an attorney at the U.S. Customs Service and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. He is an adjunct professor at American Universitys Washington College of Law.
