ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 25th Apr, 2018 ) :Like other parts of the globe, World Intellectual Property Day (IP) will be mark April 26 (Thursday) in Pakistan and with aims to increase people's awareness and understanding of intellectual property (IP).

World Intellectual Property Day focuses on increasing people's awareness and understanding of all aspects of intellectual property. The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) works together with various government agencies, non-government organizations, community groups and individuals to hold different events and activities to promote World Intellectual Property Day each year.

Activities and events may include stage concerts or other public performances centered around the World IP Day theme, with the performers delivering messages which encourage respect for creators and creativity.

Seminars or free lectures in universities to build awareness of intellectual property and its benefits among students, faculty and researchers. Some educational institutions may choose World IP Day as a time to celebrate the works of a notable inventor, artist, designer, or entrepreneur, and link discussions with the important role of intellectual property.

WIPO decided in 2000 to designate an annual World Intellectual Property Day to address the perceived gap between IP as a business/legal concept and its relevance to people's lives. April 26 was chosen as the date upon which the convention establishing WIPO first entered into force in 1970.
