On this day, April 26, as the world celebrates World Intellectual Property Day — an occasion that reflects the importance of protecting innovation and creativity across various fields — the Syrian Future Movement emphasizes the need to raise awareness about intellectual property rights and their role in driving progress and development in Syria. This day, established by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in 2000, highlights the significance of safeguarding these rights globally.
The Syrian Future Movement considers intellectual property to be the cornerstone for building an economy based on knowledge and innovation. It stimulates creativity among individuals and provides an environment conducive to the growth of ideas and their transformation into successful projects. In Syria, where creators face significant challenges, the protection of their intellectual rights is crucial to ensuring the continuity of their contributions and innovations across scientific, cultural, and industrial fields.
The Syrian Future Movement views this day as an opportunity to promote the values of intellectual property, including the respect for copyrights, the protection of trademarks, and the encouragement of patent registrations. These values are not merely legal principles; they are fundamental pillars that support a sustainable economy and a society founded on innovation.
The Syrian Future Movement calls on the relevant authorities in Syria to adopt clear policies to protect intellectual property rights, and to encourage entrepreneurs and innovators to move forward with their ideas and creations. We also urge educational institutions to strengthen awareness of these rights among students and young people, enabling them to become active contributors to a more innovative and advanced future.
On this World Intellectual Property Day, the Syrian Future Movement reaffirms that protecting intellectual property is not merely a legal obligation, but a societal responsibility that contributes to building a more prosperous future based on thought and creativity. We believe that supporting and empowering creators is the path toward a cultural and economic renaissance that will positively impact society as a whole .
