From the rhythms that invite us to dance, to the lyrics that echo our
emotions, music enriches every aspect of our lives. Music is a universal form of
creative expression and intellectual property (IP) rights play a pivotal role in
supporting a vibrant and diverse music landscape.
Music permeates every sector, and IP 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. Even when it's not on our minds, the beat and rhythm of music
and IP are always present in our lives.
World Intellectual Property Day 2025 highlights how creativity and
innovation, backed by IP rights, keep a thriving music scene that benefits
everyone, everywhere. This year’s World IP Day invites us to explore how IP
rights and innovation policies empower creators, innovators, and entrepreneurs
to bring fresh ideas to the music industry, safeguarding the work of
songwriters, composers, performers, and all those who shape the music that moves
us.
On World IP Day, April 26, 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, evokes powerful emotions,
drives change, and inspires a more innovative future.
Join the #WorldIPDay celebration! Let’s come together to honor 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 and make us feel the beat of IP.
