World Intellectual Property Day – 26 April 2021
26th April 2021
IP and SMEs: Taking your ideas to market
Every April 26, we celebrate World Intellectual Property Day to raise awareness of the important role that intellectual property (IP) rights play in encouraging innovation and creativity.
The theme for World IP Day 2021 is
“
IP and SMEs: Taking your ideas to market” and highlights
how Intellectual property (IP) can improve the competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and provide a potential source of revenue. SMEs are the backbone of the global economy and are essential contributors to job creation and economic development. IP is a powerful tool for SMEs that can create economic value and advance their business goals.
The ‘International Copyright Framework’
Organizations and associations this year’s World Book and Copyright Day (Friday, April 23) and World Intellectual Property Day (Monday, April 26) have elicited, of course, statements responsive to and reflective of the impact of the still-ongoing coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic. An event like the onslaught of this pathogen–which at this writing has killed 3,105,726 people worldwide–is this year understandably eliciting many comments of appreciation and support from non-governmental organizations and other service associations.
From the International Publishers Association (IPA), Friday’s statement opens saying, “On World Book and Copyright Day 2021, the International Publishers Association pays tribute to publishers’ unstinting, positive contribution to the world during a year in which our societies have faced unprecedented pressure.”
