World IP Day

A message from the Director General of WIPO:

For many people, the connection between intellectual property and creativity is far from obvious. The word creativity conjures a world of artists and music makers, of poets and problem solvers. Whereas intellectual property all too often summons images of gray-suited lawyers, locked in litigation. But look more closely, and it quickly becomes clear that it is the intellectual property system itself which sustains and nourishes those creators.
A list of WIPO activities world-wide is here. And here is your very own poster.

I'm pleased to see WIPO include among the list of activities an event by Free Culture Florida entitled "Encouraging Creativity: Are We?"

Thanks John. If you go to the Free Culture Florida event, I will be happy to post your write-up:)
