British Columbia Industrial Design Association

Established by the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) to “raise awareness of the role of intellectual property in our daily lives, and to celebrate the contribution made by innovators and artists to the development of societies across the globe”, a series of activities and events will be held around the globe highlighting this year’s theme - Encouraging Creativity.

An in-depth understanding of the most common forms of industrial property, including patents and utility models for inventions, industrial designs and trademarks is necessary for designers who seek protection for their own industrial property.
