WIPO Announces Theme of World IP Day 2025: "IP and music: Feel the beat of IP" 

The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) has recently announced the theme of World Intellectual Property Day 2025, namely "IP and music: Feel the beat of IP".

This year's World Intellectual Property Day shines a light on creators, inventors and entrepreneurs who are pushing the boundaries of innovation and creativity to bring new ideas in the music world, and explores how Intellectual property (IP) rights and innovation policies safeguard the work of songwriters, composers, performers, and relevant stakeholders to support a vibrant, diverse music scene.

The World Intellectual Property Day has been celebrated every year since 2000 on April 26 (which is the day on which the WIPO Convention came into force in 1970), with the aim of increasing general awareness and understanding of IP.
