World Intellectual Property Day 2021

Join the USPTO and its partner organizations in a special 90-minute program to celebrate World Intellectual Property Day 2021. This annual international event is an opportunity to learn about the role that intellectual property (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 include two live panels: the first will feature 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.
