Innovation and creativity are inextricably linked to the protection of intellectual property (IP). It is therefore essential, in order to promote the sciences and useful arts, that all content creators and stakeholders be aware of the legal mechanisms for the protection of IP and its application to their work.

The Chair of IP Law, in cooperation with InnovUS and Von Seidels, is proud to again host the annual public event on Stellenbosch campus to celebrate World IP Day and raise awareness about IP among students and staff from all Faculties.

In keeping with the global theme of World IP Day, Movies – A Global Passion, a free film will be screened at the Pulp Cinema. All participants will also have the opportunity to learn from IP experts about the relevant aspects of the law applicable to their field of work or study.

Attendance is free! Please RSVP to innovusp@sun.ac.za as soon as possible.
