WORLD IP DAY 2024

World Intellectual Property Day 2024 is a momentous occasion, celebrated globally on April 26, where we recognize the pivotal role of intellectual property (IP) in fueling human innovation and creativity. This year’s theme is “IP and the SDGs: Building Our Common Future with Innovation and Creativity.”

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) serve as a roadmap for a better future, addressing critical issues such as climate change, poverty, education, and more. However, progress toward these goals has been sluggish, with only 15%of the SDGs currently on track. To reignite progress, we must harness the power of IP as a catalyst for innovation and creativity in service of the SDGs.

WIPO Director General Daren Tang aptly stated, “From electric vehicles to lifesaving drugs, clean and green tech, to AI and digital technologies – IP can be the vehicle to turn bold new ideas into real-world impact.” Let us unite on this World IP Day to leverage the power of IP and build a better world for all.

Let’s celebrate the boundless possibilities that IP brings to life, propelling us toward a stronger, shared common future! 🌟🚀🌏
