27 Apr Livestreams of IP and Sports
Prof. Adebambo Adewopo
In the mission of raising awareness on the role of intellectual property (IP), World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) once again beams its searchlight on the ubiquitous world of sports, and its intersection with IP. The theme “IP and Sports: Ready, Set, Innovate’ marks World IP Day 2026 and requires us to review the often overlooked IP-Sports dynamics and the pivotal role of IP in the modern world of sports. Within a short span of time, sports theme has recurred in recent annals of World IP Day. In 2019, the global community marked World IP Day with the theme “Reach for Gold: IP and Sports’, a testament to this dynamic that has defined human existence since time immemorial. Nigeria, a reputable sporting nation, joins the rest of WIPO member states in celebrating the creative and unifying power of sports as an integral part of our everyday life and integrating it within its IP consciousness.
