2017世界知识产权日主题公布！“创新改变生活”

每天，平凡的人都在创造不非凡的新事物，把世界改造得更美好。

他们的创新形式五花八门，有的平淡无奇，有的却如有神助：秘鲁的广告牌可以从空气中收集水分，为当地社区提供清洁的饮用水；美国某大学的3D打印机可以再造受损的人体组织；肯尼亚有手机转账和小额信贷服务；印度农村采用可再生能源解决方案为冰箱供电；中国的石墨烯电池用几分钟就可以为手机充电；俄罗斯联邦的尖端辅助技术可以帮助残疾人执行日常任务。

把问题转变为进步

从新药物、新材料到改良农作物品种和改进的通信技术，创新使我们的生活更健康、更安全、更舒适。

创新是一种没有止境的人类力量。它把问题转变为进步。它不断推进可能性的界限，创造出前所未有的新能力。

2017年世界知识产权日庆祝的正是这种创造力。我们将探讨世界上最非凡的一些创新如何改变了我们的生活；新创意如何帮助解决共同的全球挑战——气候变化、健康、贫困和养活不断增加的人口的需要。

我们将探讨知识产权制度如何通过以下方式支持创新：吸引投资、回馈创造者、鼓励他们开发自己的创意，并确保他们的新知识可以免费获取，以使未来的创新者可以在当今新技术的基础上再接再厉。

轮到你了

哪种创新对你的生活改变最大？应该怎样做才能让这些新技术到达需要它们的人？你认为未来创新有哪些方面应该优先考虑？

In 2017 we celebrate Innovation – Improving Lives

Every day, ordinary people are producing extraordinary new things to change the world for the better.

Their innovations take myriad forms, from the mundane to the seemingly miraculous: A billboard in Peru that harvests water from the air, supplying the local community with clean drinking water; a 3D-printer at an American university that regenerates damaged human tissue; a mobile money transfer and microfinancing service from Kenya, renewable energy solutions that power fridges in rural India; a graphene battery from China that charges a mobile phone in minutes; cutting-edge assistive technologies from the Russian Federation to help people with disabilities perform everyday tasks.

Problems to progress

From new medicines and materials to improved crop varieties and communications, innovation is making our lives healthier, safer, and more comfortable.

Innovation is a human force that knows no limits. It turns problems into progress. It pushes the boundaries of possibility, creating unprecedented new capabilities.

World Intellectual Property Day 2017 celebrates that creative force. We’ll explore how some of the world’s most extraordinary innovations have improved our lives; and how new ideas are helping tackle shared global challenges, such as climate change, health, poverty and the need to feed an ever-expanding population.

We’ll look at how the intellectual property system supports innovation by attracting investment, rewarding creators, encouraging them to develop their ideas, and ensuring that their new knowledge is freely available so that tomorrow’s innovators can build on today’s new technology.

Your turn

Which innovation has most improved your life? What more can be done to make sure new technologies reach the people who need them? What do you think should be the priorities for future innovation?
