As part of the World IP Day 2024, MoEc hosted a series of introductory seminars,

workshops, and competitions from April 22 to 30. These events were all curated to
increase awareness on national laws and regulations pertaining to intellectual works
and the procedure to safeguard creative works, thus strengthening the role of patents

in supporting science and technology fields. Additionally, these endeavors contributed
to encouraging the transition towards sustainability in the realm of intellectual works.

World IP Day is an annual global event celebrated on April 26, bringing together

countries, organizations, and institutions that are involved in intellectual property
matters. This event was initiated by the World Intellectual Property Organization

(WIPO), coinciding with the organization’s establishment in 1970, with the aim of
increasing awareness on the significance of intellectual property rights. It also serves as
an occasion to promote awareness on various aspects of intellectual property including

trademarks, patents, industrial designs, copyright, and creative industries.
