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.
