The Wright Brothers. Steve Jobs. Louis Pasteur. Pablo Picasso. Marie Curie. What do they all have in common? They are all being celebrated as "visionary innovators" during 2012's World Intellectual Property Day.

World IP Day is celebrated annually on the 26^th April, and this year is no exception. The World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) chose this day to celebrate and promote the understanding of the role Intellectual Property plays in our day to day lives. The date chosen is significant in that it was the date on which the WIPO Convention came into force in 1970.

This year's celebration focuses on innovation and cultural creation and celebrates the work on "visionary innovators" – people who transform our lives by their creative and innovative contributions.
