The WIPO Director general, Mr. Daren Tang, took part in Singapore's IP, which took place from September 5 to 7, 2022.
Mr. Tang emphasized that despite the global challenges being faced, such as COVID-19 and the war in Ukraine, among others, innovation and IP-backed activities have continued to grow.
In his keynote remarks given during the Global Forum on Intellectual Property on the theme: “Ideas to Assets: Charting our Future with IP,” Mr. Tang said international patent, trade mark and design applications filed through WIPO saw their highest levels last year. Key innovation metrics such as venture capital funding also reached new heights and has become more diverse, with the strongest growth seen in Africa and Latin America.
