World Intellectual Property Day 2022 History
In a statement made at the World Intellectual Property Organization’s Assembly of Member States in September 1998, the Director-General of the National Algerian Institute for Industrial Property proposed the establishment of an international day for intellectual property on April 7, 1999, to create a framework for broader mobilisation and awareness, access to the promotional aspect of innovation, and the achievements of promoters of intellectual property.
On August 9, 1999, the Chinese delegation to the World Intellectual Property Organization proposed the establishment of “World Intellectual Property Day” to raise awareness of intellectual property protection, expand the influence of intellectual property protection around the world, encourage countries to publicise and popularise intellectual property protection laws and regulations, improve public legal awareness of intellectual property rights, and encourage invention-innovation activities. Later in October 1999, the WIPO General Assembly endorsed the proposal of recognising a specific day as World Intellectual Property Day.
