AN INVITATION
A World Intellectual Property Day Event
The public policy debate over intellectual property and piracy of
software, music, film, literature, pharmaceuticals and fashion often
focuses on how those crimes hurt American and European multi-national
corporations. But they hurt struggling inventors, artists and innovative
companies in developing countries even more.
On April 26, World Intellectual Property Day, IPI will host a briefing at
the Willard Hotel in Washington, DC featuring intellectual property
experts who will discuss the value of IP for developing countries and what
is being done globally to promote greater awareness of and protection for
intellectual property rights.
