World Intellectual Property Day 2021

Join the USPTO and its partner organizations for a special program to celebrate World Intellectual Property (IP) Day 2021 on Monday, April 26, from 3-4:30 pm ET. This annual international event is an opportunity to learn about the role that IP rights play in encouraging innovation and creativity.

Registration is free.

The theme of this year’s celebration is “Intellectual property and small businesses: Taking big ideas to market.” The program will consist of two live panels: the first will include representatives of small businesses who will share their IP stories; the second will focus on the resources available to assist small businesses with their IP needs.

Organizations participating in this event include the American Intellectual Property Law Association, the International Trademark Association, the American Bar Association Section of Intellectual Property Law, the Intellectual Property Owners Association, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Global Innovation Policy Center.
