Ever wondered what your favorite sport has to do with intellectual property?

From the branding of sporting events to the growth of local sports industries and tourism, intellectual property (IP) plays an important role behind the scenes. The real game begins when IP becomes a tool, not just a concept.

Around the world, Intellectual Property Training Institutions (IPTIs) bring IP to life by delivering training that is rooted in local needs and built for real impact.
See that impact in action by joining the IPTIs Network Connect session, where IP meets sport and training takes the field.

Sneak peek

The session brings together IPTIs from El Salvador, Ukraine and Algeria to share how sport is becoming a powerful context for IP training, from sustainable livelihoods in surf tourism to inspiring young creators and driving copyright awareness in the creative industries. With a focus on practical experience and local impact, the session will showcase how IP training can reach new audiences and find relevance in unexpected places.
