World Intellectual Property Day takes place every year on April 26. It was established by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in 2000.
Each year, the campaign is rolled out around a topical theme:
- 2023 – Women and IP: Accelerating Innovation and Creativity
- 2022 – IP and Youth: Innovating for a Better Future
- 2021 – IP and SMEs: Taking Your Ideas to Market
- 2020 – Innovate for a Green Future
The purpose of the holiday is to raise awareness about patents, copyright, and trademarks. People can learn more about how these laws impact our daily life.
It helps us to celebrate talent and creativity which makes us able to recognize the contributions that creators and inventors make to our world.
