Pinkos' visit to New Albany Elementary came as part of a two-day
=93Conference on Intellectual Property in the Global Marketplace=94
sponsored by the USPTO on May 15 and 16 in Columbus, Ohio. [SNIP] As
Pinkos noted after the presentation, =93These third graders are pretty
smart. They really got the message =96 and they're the ones who will
spread the word that it's not okay to illegally copy or download
movies, software and computer games.=94

New Albany Elementary School also participates in Camp Invention,
cosponsored by the USPTO and the National Inventors Hall of Fame.
Camp Invention is a nationwide educational outreach program designed
to give children in grades 1-6 an alternative to traditional
classroom experiences.
