April 26th - World Intellectual Property Day
April 26th 2022
Today, April 26th, is "World Intellectual Property Day".
This day marks the 52nd anniversary of the Convention that created the "World Intellectual Property Organization," founded with the purpose of intensifying the international effort to protect intellectual rights.
