毎年4月26日は世界知的財産の日として知的財産についての啓蒙活動やイベントが世界的に行われます。world ip dayでは毎年そのテーマが掲げられており、今年は”IP and Youth: Innovating for a Better Future(知的財産と若者:より良い未来のための革新)”となっています。日本では発明の日(4月18日)が近いせいかあまりイベントが行われたりはしない傾向にありますが、諸外国では年に一度の啓蒙普及のためのお祭りという感じです。ユーチューブには、世界中の知的財産機関や知財関連団体、大学、法律事務所などからメッセージ動画が寄せられますが、1週間ほど前のタイミングから遅い場合には1、2か月経ってからアップロードされたりもします。本サイトでは、従前見つけたらそのタイミングでまとめて世界知的財産の日バージョンをいくつかの投稿ページとしていましたが、今年は本投稿ページだけに絞り、各国のIP関連の政府機関が発信したものだけに限定しております。(世界知的財産の日 World IP Day 2022)
