April 26, 2025: World Intellectual Property Day

[25/04/2025]

On the occasion of World Intellectual Property Day, the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) is highlighting the role of intellectual property in the music ecosystem, under the theme: “IP and Music: A Universe of Innovation.”

Germain Maureau supports and encourages this global celebration, which honors those who make musical innovation resonate.

Through copyright, patents, trademarks, and designs, intellectual property protects works, enhances creative talent, and contributes to cultural heritage.

In the music field, intellectual property goes beyond copyright: it also supports technological progress – from digital platforms to innovative instruments – and fosters synergies between music, film, fashion, and other creative industries.

Germain Maureau pays tribute to the creators, composers, performers, and entrepreneurs whose boldness and inventiveness shape the world of music.
