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

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.
