Intellectual Property and Sport
The World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) is a specialised agency of the United Nations (UN) which aims to promote a “balanced and effective international intellectual property (IP) system”. In 2000, WIPO designated 26 April as World Intellectual Property Day to:
- increase the general understanding of intellectual property; and
- highlight the role of intellectual property rights in encouraging innovation and creativity.
The day’s theme for 2019 is “Intellectual Property and Sports: Reach for Gold”. The aim of the theme is to raise awareness of how different IP protections “support the global sports ecosystem”.
