World Intellectual Property Day: April 26, 2025
IP and music: Feel the beat of IP

IP and music: Feel the beat of IP

From the rhythms that invite us to dance, to the lyrics that echo our emotions, music enriches every aspect of our lives. Music is a universal form of creative expression and intellectual property (IP) rights play a pivotal role in supporting a vibrant and diverse music landscape.
Music permeates every sector, and IP fosters the presence of music beyond its own realm. From film, entertainment, and technology, to fashion, video games, and consumer goods, IP rights empower cross-industry connections with music, enabling creative synergies and innovation across sectors that fuel economic growth. Even when it’s not on our minds, the beat and rhythm of music and IP are always present in our lives.
World Intellectual Property Day 2025 highlights how creativity and innovation, backed by IP rights, keep a thriving music scene that benefits everyone, everywhere. This year’s World IP Day invites us to 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.
On World IP Day, April 26, we celebrate the contributions of creators, inventors, and entrepreneurs who are pushing the boundaries of innovation and creativity to make music that brings people together, evokes powerful emotions, drives change, and inspires a more innovative future.
Join the #WorldIPDay celebration! Let’s come together to honor the universal language of music and the talented creators, inventors, and entrepreneurs who continue to develop new sounds, styles, and technologies that shape the future of music and make us feel the beat of IP.

Empowering Innovation in Music: IFIA’s Commitment to Intellectual Property

Music is a universal language that transcends boundaries, cultures, and industries. As highlighted by WIPO, intellectual property (IP) rights play a crucial role in fostering creativity and innovation within the music industry, ensuring that songwriters, composers, performers, and innovators receive the recognition and protection they deserve.

In alignment with this vision, IFIA is committed to supporting innovation in the music sector by leveraging its global network of 190 member organizations. By promoting IP awareness and protection, IFIA empowers inventors and entrepreneurs to develop groundbreaking technologies and creative solutions that enhance the music ecosystem. From advancements in sound engineering and AI-generated compositions to digital distribution and music-related technologies, IFIA actively encourages innovation that bridges the gap between music and emerging industries.

Through collaboration, advocacy, and innovation-driven initiatives, IFIA continues to champion the role of IP in shaping the future of music. By fostering an environment where creativity thrives, IFIA stands alongside global efforts to celebrate and protect the intellectual property that fuels the evolution of music and enriches lives worldwide.

IFIA’s Enduring Commitment to IP in Music: A Legacy Since 1991

IFIA’s dedication to intellectual property (IP) protection in the music industry has deep roots, dating back to 1991 when it actively championed the rights of innovators such as Roberto del Rosario of the Philippines. A visionary inventor and accomplished musician, del Rosario made history with his groundbreaking creations, most notably the Sing-Along System a pioneering innovation that laid the foundation for modern karaoke technology. His contributions extended beyond this invention, with advancements like the Echo Sound Processor, which transformed stereo components into high-quality sing-along systems, and Voice Color Tapes, scientifically programmed to match different vocal ranges. These innovations not only reshaped the music and entertainment industries but also highlighted the critical role of intellectual property in fostering creativity and technological progress.

Recognizing the significance of such contributions, IFIA took proactive steps in supporting music-related intellectual property rights by advocating for stronger legislative protections. Through its collaboration with the Filipino Inventors’ Society (FIS), IFIA played a key role in lobbying for the introduction of laws that safeguarded the rights of inventors, ensuring that their creations received the legal and commercial recognition they deserved. By leveraging its extensive global network, IFIA facilitated the international visibility of such inventions, helping innovators navigate the complexities of intellectual property protection and commercialization.

This early commitment to music and intellectual property rights set a strong precedent for IFIA’s ongoing mission. Today, IFIA continues to be at the forefront of innovation in the creative industries, empowering inventors, musicians, and entrepreneurs who develop new technologies that shape the future of music. Whether through advancements in AI-generated compositions, digital music distribution, or sound engineering technologies, IFIA remains steadfast in its mission to protect and promote intellectual property in the music sector ensuring that creative minds receive the recognition, protection, and opportunities they need to thrive.
