On April 26, the world celebrates the endless possibilities of building a strong, shared common future that intellectual property (IP) helps to bring to life. 

This year, on World Intellectual Property Day, we are happy to announce that we are focusing on 'IP and the SDGs: Building our common future with innovation and creativity'. World IP Day 2024 is an opportunity to explore how (IP) encourages and can amplify the innovative and creative solutions that are so crucial to building our common future.
