Important Days

Every year, World Intellectual Property Day is observed on 26 April. In 1883, the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property was signed which further established protection for intellectual properties. This was aimed to protect inventions, trademarks, and industrial designs. In 1970, the Convention establishing the World Intellectual Property Organization came to be known as WIPO. In 1974, WIPO became a specialised agency of the United Nations. The theme for World Intellectual Property Day 2024 is "IP and the SDGs: Building Our Common Future with Innovation and Creativity".
