Around the World with LES April  2014              Joining Hands

LESI celebrates World Intellectual Property Day by coordinating worldwide events organized by LES national societies, reflecting the “Joining Hands” theme of LESI president Yvonne Chua.

World IP Day was established by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) “to promote discussion of the role of intellectual property (IP) in encouraging innovation and creativity . . . a unique opportunity each year to join with others around the globe to consider how IP contributes to the flourishing of music and the arts and to driving the technological innovation that helps shape our world.”​
