World Intellectual Property Day
April 26, 2010
On April 26, 2010, WIPO celebrates both the 10th anniversary of World Intellectual Property Day and the 40th anniversary of the entry into force of the Convention establishing WIPO (the WIPO Convention).
The theme of World IP Day in this celebratory year is “Innovation – Linking the World”.
All organizers of events to mark the Day are welcome – and encouraged – to download and use the outreach materials below or to develop their own, adjusting the theme where necessary. Those who cannot download the material may request hard copies by post or by e-mail at worldipday@wipo.int.

To mark the 10th anniversary of the launch of World Intellectual Property Day, WIPO will be framing and displaying, at its headquarters in Geneva, some of the many posters it has received from its Member States and observers over the years.
As in previous years, a summary of the activities organized to celebrate World IP Day will be published on the WIPO website.
WIPO will also continue to build on the World IP Day web gallery, displaying new posters and other publicity materials sent to it to mark the event. IP Offices and organizations are invited to send copies of their posters (in PDF format) and the details of their activities as early as possible, by post or by e-mail (worldipday@wipo.int).
