Create your World Intellectual Property Day campaign 

Celebrate World IP Day and support creativity and innovation in music
The theme of the 2025 World IP Day is “IP and music: Feel the beat of IP”.
This year, World IP Day invites us to celebrate the universal language of music and the talented creators, inventors, and entrepreneurs who continue to develop new sounds, styles, and technologies that shape the future of music, bring people together, feel powerful emotions, and move us all to feel its beat. Let's highlight how creativity and innovation, supported by intellectual property (IP) rights, keep music pulsing through our everyday lives.
Don't hesitate to use the materials we have developed to support your World IP Day celebrations and to help amplify the importance of IP rights in protecting and promoting the creativity and innovation that power the world of music.

World IP Day: Key Messages to Share   

  • Music is a universal form of creative expression and IP rights play a pivotal role in supporting a vibrant and diverse music landscape that continues to bring music into our lives.
  • ​​​​​​By safeguarding IP rights, fair compensation is supported for those who craft music, encouraging continued creativity and innovation to inspire everyone, everywhere.
  • ​​​​​​​​​Intellectual property fosters the presence of music beyond its own realm. From film, entertainment, and technology, to fashion, video games, and consumer goods, IP rights empower cross-industry connections with music, enabling creative synergies and innovation across sectors that fuel economic growth.
  • ​​​​​​​On World IP Day, we celebrate the contributions of creators, inventors, and entrepreneurs who are pushing the boundaries of innovation and creativity to make music that brings people together, incites powerful emotions, drives change, and inspires a more innovative future.
  • ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​As the specialized United Nations agency for innovation and creativity, WIPO has a unique role to play in supporting the growth of creativity and innovation in the music creation landscape. WIPO is working with its member states and partners to create a legal and policy environment in which inventors, creators, and entrepreneurs can thrive.
