World Intellectual Property Day, 26 April 2009, Geneva

On World Intellectual Property Day this year, WIPO's focus is on promoting green innovation as the key to a secure future.
With over 50% of patent applications worldwide being written in Japanese, Chinese or Korean, understanding patent information from Asia has become an essential element in the work of every patent searcher. The EPO's "East meets West" forum provides an ideal platform for patent information users around the world to discuss their most pressing Asian patent information needs.
This year's "East meets West" forum puts a strong focus on machine translation in patent searching, spotlights traditional knowledge from Asia and introduces patent information from India and the patent system in the Philippines.
