女性和知識產權：加速創新創造

　　為了廣泛增進人們對知識產權的認識，我們每年在4月26日慶祝世界知識產權日。2023年世界知識產權日活動的主題是：女性和知識產權：加速創新創造。

　　隨著各種慶?；顒釉谑澜绺鞯嘏e辦，世界知識產權日已經成為一場真正的全球活動。雖然可以說人們的知識產權意識比以往任何時候都強，但在包括女性在內的眾多社會部門，仍然需要不斷提高對知識產權在推動創新創造、業務增長和可持續發展方面所起的關鍵作用的認識和理解。世界知識產權日是接觸這些受眾的重要手段，也是一個重要的載體，可以展示在當今快節奏和數字驅動的世界中有效利用知識產權所能帶來的機遇和裨益。

　　女性占全球人口的近一半（49.58%）。雖然各地區的女性都在通過自己的想象力和才智塑造世界，但她們面臨多種挑戰，創新和創造潛力在很大程度上仍未得到充分利用。

　　就女性對知識產權的使用而言，盡管有所進展，但代表性仍然嚴重不足。由此導致從知識產權制度中受益的女性數量極低。在構建經濟復原力成為當務之急的時候，讓女性融入知識產權制度，加速創新創造和業務增長，比以往任何時候都更加重要。這從經濟角度看是合理的，也是一種正確的做法。

　　在2023年世界知識產權日來臨之際，讓我們齊心協力，推動建設更加包容和多元化的生態系統，加速創新創造和業務增長，造福所有人。

Women and IP:  Accelerating Innovation and Creativity

　　The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) invites all Member States and stakeholders to join in celebrating World Intellectual Property Day on April 26, 2023.  The campaign theme is:

　　Women and IP:Accelerating Innovation and Creativity

　　World Intellectual Property Day has become a truly global event with celebrations taking place in every region of the world.  While levels of intellectual property (IP) awareness are arguably higher than ever before, there are still many sectors of society, including among women, where there is an enduring need to build awareness and understanding about the critical role that IP plays in driving innovation and creativity, business growth and sustainable development. World Intellectual Property Day is an important vehicle for reaching these audiences and for showcasing the opportunities and benefits that can flow from effective use of IP rights in today’s fast-paced and digitally driven world.

　　Women make up nearly half of the global population (49.58%).  While women in all regions are shaping the world through their imagination and ingenuity, they face many challenges and their innovative and creative potential remains largely underutilized.

　　Despite modest progress, women remain seriously under-represented in terms of their use of IP rights.  As a result, too few women are benefitting from the IP system.  At a time when building economic resilience for recovery is a top priority, connecting women with the IP system to accelerate innovation, creativity and business growth, is more important than ever.  It makes economic sense and it is the right thing to do.

　　For World Intellectual Property Day 2023, let's pull together to promote the development of more inclusive and diverse ecosystems that accelerate innovation, creativity and business growth for the benefit of all.
