Today we celebrate World Intellectual Property Day promoted by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).

The theme of the 2018 edition is women’s role in innovative and creative activities.

According to WIPO, “more than ever before, women are taking up leadership roles and making their voices heard in the science, technology, business and the arts. This is good news. With women and men working together, we strengthen humanity’s hand, and improve our ability to enrich our shared cultural wealth and develop effective solutions to alleviate poverty, boost global health, and safeguard the environment.”

WIPO also reminds us that “the time is ripe to reflect on ways to ensure that increasing numbers of women and girls across the globe engage in innovation and creativity, and why this is so important.”.
