World Intellectual Property Day is observed annually on 26 April. The aim of the celebration of the World Intellectual Property Day is 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”. Various events are organized each year worldwide and each year a message or theme is associated with the event.
The theme of the World IP Day 2020 is „innovation and the IP rights that support it at the heart of efforts to create a green future because the choices we make today will shape our tomorrow. The earth is our home. We need to care for it“ (https://www.wipo.int/ip-outreach/en/ipday/; World Intellectual Property Organization).
