World Intellectual Property Day

World IP day 2025. This year is celebrating IP and Music: Feel the beat of IP. April 26, 2025.

World Intellectual Property (IP) Day is celebrated annually on April 26. Member states of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) selected April 26 in recognition of when the Convention Establishing the World Intellectual Property Organization came into force. World IP Day aims to increase public awareness and discussion of IP by celebrating the contributions of inventors and creators around the world and highlighting the role of IP rights (copyright, trademarks, patents, designs, and trade secrets) in stimulating innovation and creativity.
