World Intellectual Property Day
World Intellectual Property Day is observed annually on 26 April. The event was established by the World Intellectual Property
Organization (WIPO) in
2000 to "raise awareness of how patents, copyright, trademarks and designs
impact on daily life" and "to celebrate creativity, and the
contribution made by creators and innovators to the
development of societies across the globe". 26 April was chosen as the date for
World Intellectual Property Day because it coincides with the date on which the Convention Establishing the World Intellectual Property
Organization entered
into force in 1970.

Intellectual
property (IP) refers to creations of the mind, such as inventions;
literary and artistic works; designs; and symbols, names and images used in
commerce.
Types of intellectual property
Copyright
is a legal term used to describe the rights that creators have over their
literary and artistic works. Works covered by copyright range from books,
music, paintings, sculpture and films, to computer programs, databases,
advertisements, maps and technical drawings.
A
patent is an exclusive right granted for an invention. Generally speaking, a
patent provides the patent owner with the right to decide how - or whether -
the invention can be used by others. In exchange for this right, the patent
owner makes technical information about the invention publicly available in the
published patent document.
Industrial designs
An
industrial design constitutes the ornamental or aesthetic aspect of an article.
A design may consist of three-dimensional features, such as the shape or
surface of an article, or of two-dimensional features, such as patterns, lines
or color.
Geographical indications
Geographical
indications and appellations of origin are signs used on goods that have a
specific geographical origin and possess qualities, a reputation or
characteristics that are essentially attributable to that place of origin. Most
commonly, a geographical indication includes the name of the place of origin of
the goods.
