World Intellectual Property Day
Around the world, 26 April is observed annually as World Intellectual Property Day (WIPD). This year, the Cayman Islands Intellectual Property Office (CIIPO) hosted several events throughout April to educate the public about intellectual property rights, as well as celebrate Cayman’s creative minds. The 2023 theme for WIPD is Women and IP: Accelerating innovation and creativity.
Have you written a book or song? Created a unique logo, software programme or invention? Do you want to protect your creation so that you can be recognised for it and maybe benefit financially? CIIPO can help. It’s YOUR innovation, YOUR creation and YOUR intellectual property. Protect it today!
