As celebrated across the world, every 26th of April, the World IP Day is one of the most celebrated events, established by the World Intellectual Property Office (WIPO). As WIPO notes, the World IP event was created to:
” … raise awareness of how patents, copyright, trademarks and designs impact on daily life. ” and “… to celebrate creativity, and the contribution made by creators and innovators to the development of societies across the globe.”
The day was chosen as a symbolic reference to the date on which the Convention Establishing the World Intellectual Property Organization entered into force in 1970.
Each year has its own dedicated theme associated with the event. This year’s theme is “Intellectual property and music: Feel the beat of IP”
In 2025, we explore how IP rights and innovation policies empower creators, innovators, and entrepreneurs to bring fresh ideas to the music industry, safeguarding the work of songwriters, composers, performers, and all those who shape the music that moves us.
World Intellectual Property Day 2025 is an opportunity to celebrate the contributions of creators, inventors, and entrepreneurs who are pushing the boundaries of innovation and creativity!
Happy World IP day from our IP Team!
