The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) established World IP Day (WIPD) 19 years ago to celebrate the day on which the WIPO Convention entered into force: April 26, 1970. And this year, WIPO has set as the theme for World IP Day 2024, “IP and the SDGs: Building our common future with innovation and creativity.”

Arjun Padmanabhan shares his insight:

Artificial intelligence holds vast untapped potential to address many of those challenges.

Once unpatentable AI-created inventions are now patentable in leading patent regimes.”
