Grand Cayman, 16 April 2025 – The Cayman Islands Intellectual Property Office (CIIPO) is again joining other countries around the world to observe World Intellectual Property Day 2025 on 26 April.

According to the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO), World IP Day highlights the role that IP rights - patents, trademarks, industrial designs, and copyright – play in encouraging innovation and creativity. IP rights recognise and reward inventors and creators for their work, and ensure that society benefits from their creativity and ingenuity.

CIIPO adds that intellectual property (IP) is a creation of the mind. It covers literary and artistic works, designs and symbols, names and images used in business, and more.
