The Patent Office rolls out innovation project for kids:
The Patent Office has appointed Bell Design to roll out an interactive campaign to encourage innovation among primary school children.
The campaign will be based around an interactive website and feature Aardman Animation characters Wallace & Gromit. It will aim to encourage children aged 9-11-years-old to think about innovation.
The campaign will form part of a wider public agenda to move the UK towards an innovation-based economy.
