时间：2018-12-29 作者：英语课 分类：世界节假日博览
World Intellectual Property Day takes place on April 26 every year. It was on this day in 1970 that the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) came into being. It organizes many of the awareness 1 campaigns that happen on World Intellectual Property Day. Its aim is to make people aware of what intellectual property is and what it means. WIPO decided 2 in 1999 that a special day was needed each year to highlight what intellectual property is. It says most people think things like intellectual property, copyright, patents, industrial designs and trademarks 3 are business or legal concepts. WIPO says people do not think intellectual property is something that affects their daily lives.
每年的4月26日为世界知识产权日。1970年的这一天，《建立世界知识产权组织公约》生效。在这一天，该组织会举办多种提高大众意识的活动。该节日的设立目的是要让人们了解知识产权。1999年，世界知识产权组织提议建立世界知识产权日。据该组织表示，绝大多数人认为像知识产权、版权、专利、工业设计、商标全部都是企业观念或法律观念。该组织表示，人们不会认为知识产权会影响他们的日常生活。
Intellectual property is a system that protects human creativity and makes sure it flourishes. It provides a legal framework to stop people from stealing the work and ideas of those who create and innovate 4. It covers a broad area of human activity, from literature, music, arts and entertainment, to technological 5 innovations and patents that help to shape our world. Intellectual property also relates to symbols, names, images and commercial designs. Anyone who creates anything original is protected by intellectual property laws. The aim of World Intellectual Property Day is to get people to respect the work of others and make sure the originators do not lose money or experience a loss of reputation because of illegal copying.
