This date was declared in 2000 by the United Nations through the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) to raise awareness about the role of IP rights and to evaluate and encourage innovation and creativity.

This year’s theme, “Intellectual Property and Music: Keeping Up with IP,” highlights the key role it plays in the musical world.

Music, as a universal language, depends on legal protection so that composers, performers, and producers can thrive in a global market.

Intellectual property rights allow artists to control the use of their works, receive fair compensation, and invest in new projects, turning creativity into a sustainable business model.

Experts believe understanding and properly managing intellectual property is essential in the ever-evolving music industry.
