The Virtual Center on the Activities of International Organizations presents a virtual book exhibition "Intellectual Property: the XXI Century" dedicated to the International Intellectual Property Day.
Every year, Intellectual Property Day is dedicated to a specific topic. The theme for 2024 Day is “Intellectual Property and the SDGs: Innovation and Creativity for a Shared Future’'. This is an opportunity to illustrate the central role that IP, Innovation and creativity play a role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals for the benefit of every person.
The Republic of Belarus has an effective system of intellectual property protection. Our country is a party to many multilateral international treaties operating under the auspices of WIPO, as well as a number of multilateral international treaties concluded within the CIS in the field of protection of industrial property, copyright and related rights.
Since November 2010, the National Library of Belarus has become a library-depository for WIPO documents. The proposed virtual exhibition will introduce library readers to the activities of the organization and its documents, including materials on international legislation in the field of intellectual property (conventions, treaties, agreements), literature on copyright, patents and trademarks, annual reports and brief reviews of WIPO.
The virtual exhibition presents 80 documents from the library’s collections in Russian and English: books, brochures, booklets. For each document, a bibliographic description, annotation, a link to the full text of the document or a pdf file with a table of contents is provided.
The exhibition includes the following thematic sections:
- Intellectual property: role and place in the development of modern society
- International legal protection of intellectual property
- Activities of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO)
- Industrial property, patent law, trademarks
- Copyright and related rights
