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

seminars, workshops, and competitions from 22nd to 30th April. 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 endeavours 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, organisations, and institutions that are involved in

intellectual property matters. This event was initiated by the World Intellectual

Property Organisation (WIPO), coinciding with the organisation’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.
