World Intellectual Property Day takes place on 26 April 2026 and offers a unique opportunity to join with others around the globe to consider how Intellectual Property (IP) helps the global arts scene to flourish and enables the technological innovation that drives human progress.
The campaign is also an opportunity to highlight the role that IP rights, such as patents, trademarks, industrial designs, copyright, play in encouraging innovation and creativity and this year’s theme is IP and Sports: Ready, Set, Innovate.
From cutting-edge equipment and game-changing technologies to inspiring brands and designs, IP rights power a dynamic sports culture that inspires and connects people everywhere.
World IP Day 2026 celebrates the creators, inventors, and entrepreneurs whose passion and ideas drive the future of sports.
