The World Celebrates International Intellectual Property Day on April 26

Protection of intellectual property facilitates the formation of the modern world and the development of art and technologies. It applies to both creative and inventive activities and is protected by legislation. Everything what is created by the human intellect represents intellectual property and its protection is not a choice but a duty. That is why it is necessary to understand its significance.

In 2020, within the World Intellectual Property Day campaign, special attention is devoted to innovations for a green future. The modern world is facing great challenges from the environmental viewpoint and the situation will not change until people joint efforts to create a green future.

Intellectual property plays the role of a stimulator in the development of innovations because it protects the result of creative thinking and supports inventors to develop their innovations.

The work of inventors and creators is a bridge to a green future that makes the earth safer, cleaner and more energy efficient. Their innovations will help to prevent irreversible cataclysms on the earth, protect harvest in agriculture and reduce emissions in heavy industry, which often leads to serious diseases.

Intellectual property allows innovators to protect the result of their creativity and continue to work on its improvement and integration into everyday life, and benefit the society.

At present it is the time for changes and innovative approaches. The future belongs to green economy and eco-friendly innovations, whereas it protection is guaranteed by intellectual property.
