“INNOVATE FOR A GREEN FUTURE”
Greeting from Myanmar Intellectual Property Proprietors’ Association (MIPPA) with a great honor to World Intellectual Property Day 26.4.2020
Dear MIPPA’s Members, Friends, Affiliated Partners, IP Trainees, IP Learners and Observers,
Today is World Intellectual Property Day which is observed annually on the date of 26 April. The event was established by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in 2000 “to raise awareness of how patents, copyright, trademarks and designs impact on daily life” and “to celebrate creativity, and the contribution made by creators and innovators to the development of societies across the globe”.
• As you all may be aware that MIPPA has, proudly and in great essence, held World Intellectual Property Day events on 26th April every year since 2015. Also this year, MIPPA made a plan to hold World Intellectual Property Day event on 26th April 2020 with interesting programs, but unfortunately due to the pandemic of COVID – 19 threatening all over the world, that plan has been transformed to assist and encourage sacrificed medical frontiers at Waibargi hospital in terms of monetary and in kind donation in commemoration with the World IP Day.
This year WIP Day’s motto is “Innovate for a Green Future!” Simply, in Myanmar version, “အနာဂတ်စိမ်းလန်းသာယာဖို့ ဖန်တီးဆန်းသစ်ကြပါစို့။”
MIPPA would like to refer of DG, WIPO’s message as below:
“At this unique moment in history, let us turn our minds to what we each can do to become more resilient and responsible in the face of threats to global health and to the planet. Let us reflect on the role that innovation and the IP system can play in driving global efforts to create a green future that supports the well-being of humanity. And let us actively commit to creating a green future.
• Together we can innovate for a greener, brighter and more sustainable future.”
MIPPA wishes you all be very healthy, happy and safe in the pleasant world dislodged from the terrible pandemic, by virtue of newly invented medicines, techniques and therapies.
