On April 26, 2022, by the decision of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), WIPO Members States, intellectual property policymakers worldwide unite around the slogan: “IP and Youth: Innovating for a Better Future”. This year, the World Intellectual Property Day campaign focuses on innovation and creativity led by the youth and their brilliant mind. Exactly, the combination of the untapped energy, innovative ideas, “we can do it” attitude, creative mindset of the youth and a vision of green technological development should support the transition of the world to a sustainable and better future.
This year the theme of the World Intellectual Property Day is an opportunity for innovative young people to make a positive impact on the world around them, as well as to build a sustainable and better technological future.
Since 2000, every April 26, the WIPO Member States celebrate the World Intellectual Property Day. This date is related to the entry into force of the Convention Establishing the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO Convention) in 1970. On this day, everyone is offered an opportunity to consider how intellectual property contributes to the progress of music, arts and technological innovation that helps shape the contemporary world.
