WIPO:

Every April 26, we celebrate World Intellectual Property Day to learn about the role that intellectual property rights (patents, trademarks, industrial designs, copyright) play in encouraging innovation and creativity.

This year’s World Intellectual Property Day campaign celebrates the brilliance, ingenuity, curiosity and courage of the women who are driving change in our world and shaping our common future.

Every day women come up with game-changing inventions and life-enhancing creations that transform lives and advance human understanding from astrophysics to nanotechnology and from medicine to artificial intelligence and robotics.

And in the creative sphere, whether in the movies, animation, music, fashion, design, sculpture, dance, literature, art and more, women are re-imagining culture, testing the limits of artistry and creative expression, drawing us into new worlds of experience and understanding.

The important and inspiring contributions of countless women around the globe are powering change in our world. Their “can do” attitude is an inspiration to us all. And their remarkable achievements are an invaluable legacy for young girls today with aspirations to become the inventors and creators of tomorrow.

More than ever before, women are taking up leadership roles and making their voices heard in the science, technology, business and the arts. This is good news. With women and men working together, we strengthen humanity’s hand, and improve our ability to enrich our shared cultural wealth and develop effective solutions to alleviate poverty, boost global health, and safeguard the environment.

The time is ripe to reflect on ways to ensure that increasing numbers of women and girls across the globe engage in innovation and creativity, and why this is so important.

This year’s World Intellectual Property Day celebration is an opportunity to highlight how the intellectual property (IP) system can support innovative and creative women (and indeed everyone) in their quest to bring their amazing ideas to market.

Join the conversation using #worldipday and tell us about the female inventors and creators who are powering change near you!

世界知识产权组织：

每年4月26日，我们都会庆祝世界知识产权日，以了解知识产权(专利、商标、工业设计、版权)在鼓励创新和创造力方面所起的作用。

女性推动着当今世界发生变革，塑造着我们共同的未来，今年世界知识产权日活动要庆祝的就是女性的研精毕智、求知若渴和锐意进取。

女性每天都在做出改变游戏规则的发明和改善生活的创作，这改变了生活，也增进了人类从天体物理学到纳米技术，从医学到人工智能和机器人学等方面的知识。

在创意领域，无论是在电影、动画、音乐、时尚、设计、雕塑、舞蹈、文学、艺术，还是其他方面，女性都在重新塑造文化，探索艺术和创意表达的极限，引领我们进入体验和认知的新世界。

全球无数女性作出的不可或缺、令人振奋的贡献正在驱动世界发生变革。她们以“我能行”的态度，鞭策着我们每个人。她们的卓越成就好似一笔宝贵的财富，激励着今天怀有雄心的年轻女孩，成为未来的发明者和创造者。

如今，走上领导岗位的女性比以往任何时候都多，她们在科学、技术、商业和艺术等领域发出自己的声音。这是个好消息。随着男女共同努力，我们增强了人类的力量，提高了各方面的能力，从而能够去丰盈我们共同的文化财富，并为减轻贫困、改进全球卫生、保护环境制定有效的解决方案。

现在适逢其时，应当思考如何确保全球越来越多的妇女和女孩参与创新和创造活动，也应当思考这样做为何如此重要。

今年世界知识产权日的庆祝活动将为重点展示知识产权制度如何支持创新和创造型女性(事实上是每一个人)将自己的奇思妙想推向市场提供良机。

加入对话，向我们介绍一下在你身边那些驱动变革的女性发明家和创造者吧!
