The theme of the 2022 World Intellectual Property Day on April 26 is IP and Youth: Innovating for a Better Future, highlighting the creativity, ingenuity, and curiosity of the younger generation. The youth are the driving force of change and active creators of a better future, expressing their opinions fearlessly and boldly challenge the status quo. In celebration of World IP Day, TIPO seeks opportunities to promote the importance of IPR and the role it plays in encouraging innovation and creativity.

TIPO and the Taiwan Patent Attorneys Association (TWPAA) jointly organize the Patent Drafting Competition for the Youth, inviting students from universities and colleges (including graduate students) to participate. In addition, TIPO will provide pre-competition courses, offering lessons that cover the strategies of acquiring and utilizing intellectual property rights, the means to patent an idea, and case analyses and discussions. Said concepts will be explained in simple terms, allowing the participants to gain an in-depth understanding of patents and the ability to complete a patent specification. Experience-sharing and feedback sessions will also provide participants with additional opportunities to learn and grow. The event will be held in Taipei, Taichung, and Kaohsiung on April 16 and 17.

As part of World IP Day celebrations, in addition to the Award Ceremony of the Patent Drafting Competition for the Youth, TIPO and TWPAA will also be holding the Embrace IP and Pursue Your Dreams - 2022 Entrepreneur Seminar, where young entrepreneurs will be invited to share their successful experiences.

A series of events will also be held that week in celebration of the special day: seminars such as Social Media and Virtual Reality vs. IPR, Careers in IP, and Laws regarding IP and Creations in the New Age. Moreover, throughout April, Information Session for Trademark-Related Laws will be held for the youth, young startups, as well as burgeoning industries in general; IP Training Camp on Campus, a promotional activity focusing on copyright protection, will also be underway.

The series of activities in celebration of World Intellectual Property Day are designed to foster respect and a deeper understanding of intellectual property, push forth and implement the protection of IPR, and create an environment where domestic innovation and R&D can continue to flourish and thrive.
