Every April 26, the World Intellectual Property Organisation celebrates World Intellectual Property Day to promote the role that intellectual property (IPRs) play in encouraging creativity and innovation. This year, World Intellectual Property Day spotlights the enormous potential of young people to develop solutions that support the transition to a sustainable future.
Around the world, young people are harnessing their invaluable curiosity, creativity and energy to design innovative products and services. Young people can benefit from protecting their products and services through different types of IPRs including patents, copyright, industrial designs, trade marks, geographical indications, plant variety rights and trade secrets.
“IP and Youth: Innovating for a Better Future.”
Theme, World Intellectual Property Day 2022.
World Intellectual Property Day 2022 offers a platform for young people to find out how IPRs can support their goals, help transform their ideas into reality, generate income, create jobs and make a positive impact on the world around them. With IPRs, young people have access to some of the key tools they need to advance their ambitions.
Young people are the innovators, the creators and the entrepreneurs of tomorrow. Through their creativity and ingenuity, young people in all regions are driving change and carving pathways to a better future. World Intellectual Property Day 2022 celebrates this exciting generation of change-makers.
