IFIA Celebrates World Intellectual Property Day on April 26, 2024
IFIA has always tried to determine the role that intellectual property rights represent in encouraging and inspiring innovation and creativity for building a better future and has always been committed to those intentions.
Every April 26, we celebrate the World Intellectual Property Day, an opportunity to learn about the role that intellectual property (IP) rights play in encouraging innovation and creativity.
World IP Day 2024 – IP and the SDGs: Building our common future with innovation and creativity – shines a light on how IP supports the innovation and creativity we need to create pathways to a sustainable future and meet the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are a blueprint for people, prosperity, peace and our planet.
For such a purpose, and also representing Green Inventions, IFIA has put all of 170 of its members on the agenda to have an important impact on the implementation of this approach with the innovative challenges faced by the world. These challenges are the things that could threaten humanity in the years to come; such as global warming, climate change, lack of natural resources, and pollution concerns and we hope to make a better future for human beings through green inventions, recycling, and taking care of the environment, sustainable development, etc.

About World IP Day
In 2000, WIPO’s member states designated April 26 – the day on which the WIPO Convention came into force in 1970 – as World IP Day with the aim of increasing general understanding of IP.
Since then, World IP Day has offered a unique opportunity each year to join with others around the globe to consider how IP contributes to the flourishing of music and the arts and to driving the technological innovation that helps shape our world.
