“As a medical engineer and entrepreneur, I know that protecting your work with intellectual property rights opens doors. IP protection lets inventors sell, trade, or license their patented technology to others. Winning first prize in the World IP Day 2022 Video Competition fueled my innovation journey.”

“Securing second place in the World IP Day 2023 Video Competition has been an incredibly rewarding and transformative experience. For me and the women involved, this achievement has been a profound source of encouragement, filling us with positivity and a renewed belief in our abilities. The global appreciation for our humble wooden toys, crafted in a remote region, has been nothing short of inspiring. It has shown us that creativity and hard work, even from the most remote corners, can capture hearts across the world. This experience has been a powerful reminder that our traditions and skills hold universal appeal and deserve to be celebrated on such platforms.”

“The best way to encourage women to use IP systems is to show them the power of protection in action. Our "Register your work" video features young women creating art and conducting research, highlighting the importance of protecting their creations. This action guarantees the visibility of women in addition to obtaining legal protection for their work and their economic remuneration.”
