World IP day
Each year April 26 marks World Intellectual Property (IP) Day - an international event celebrating IP's role in fostering and encouraging innovation and creativity. This year the focus for World IP Day is on visionary innovators.
Australia has a rich and varied history of visionaries and inventors who have left a lasting impression on society. While names like Vegemite and Victa remain firmly embedded in our minds, there have been many more inventors who have shaped our way of life.
The history of Australian innovation is one with many lessons about the importance of IP and its role in encouraging innovation. Behind every great Australian invention is a remarkable human story, in which the curiosity, insight and determination of an individual has led to some remarkable discoveries.
