Core content: “4. 26 world intellectual property day” was established by the world intellectual property organization (wipo) to celebrate an intellectual property awareness event on 26 april each year. In my country, the “protection week” will be held one week before that date, as will be described in detail below by the legal express。
“4. 26 world intellectual property day”
On 26 april 2001, the convention establishing the world intellectual property organization entered into force and the world intellectual property organization was established. In october 2000, at the 35th general assembly of the organization, china and algeria presented a proposal for the establishment of a world intellectual property day and decided to designate 26 april as world intellectual property day each year, starting in 2001. The proposal was adopted by the general assembly and world intellectual property day was thus established。
“4. 26 purpose of world intellectual property day”
The theme day, world intellectual property day, was created to promote awareness of respect for knowledge, science, protection of intellectual property rights and a legal environment that encouraged intellectual innovation and protection of intellectual property rights. Each year, the world intellectual property organization (wipo) identifies a theme on which member states should organize awareness-raising activities on the occasion of world intellectual property rights day。
In order to involve more people in the discussion of the role of intellectual property rights as an incentive for innovation and creativity, this day takes place every year in a variety of events around the world and across china. The preservation of intellectual property rights is an expression of respect for the work of others. The preservation of intellectual property rights is not only a question of how many duplicates have been seized, how many false trademarks have been seized, but also, more importantly, of the dissemination of knowledge and the promotion of a comprehensive awareness of human rights. “respect for intellectual property rights and the maintenance of market order” is a duty incumbent on everyone and an essential part of china's system of socialist market economy。

The title of the world intellectual property day logo is “i”, “p”, “r”, which is the initial letter of the english expression of intellectual property, the three letters deforming into an active human shape, meaning “knowledge is people-centred, intellectual property rights are protected and the interests of rights holders are upheld”. The logo includes the main letter, the date of the “advocacy week” and three parts of the name in chinese and english, reflecting the link to world intellectual property day。
