World Intellectual Property Day 10:11am 17.04.08

This year’s World IP Day, coming up on April 26, has a theme of Innovation: Respect It.

"A well thought out IP strategy is the backbone of innovation. IP can develop into a significant business asset which often is worth more to a business than all the tangible assets such as factories and machinery combined," says Senator Kim Carr, Minister for Innovation, Industry, Science and Research. "If you are in business and you don’t know about the various forms of IP such as patents and trade marks, then you are taking a significant risk."
