The CIPC hosted World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) Director General, Mr Daren Tang for two meaningful engagements on taking Intellectual Property (IP) awareness to grassroots education and celebrating the creative economy. DG Tang, joined by the dtic Deputy Minister, Zuko Godlimpi and Advocate Rory Voller, CIPC Commissioner, reflected on the important role of IP in South Africa’s development journey.
CIPC showcased a flagship initiative earmarked for bringing IP awareness into grassroots education through a book launch. By introducing young people to the value of creativity, innovation and IP from an early age, we are helping to build a future generation that understands how ideas can be protected, developed and transformed into economic opportunity.
The critical role that IP plays in enabling creators, innovators and entrepreneurs to realise the full value of their work also featured as part of the engagements, with a special gesture (a truly unique collector’s piece through David Gresham Studios) of “Batsumi”, a South African jazz heritage selection, presented to Mr Tang in recognition of his love of music and its unique ability to connect people, cultures and generations.
