By SBE Council at 25 April, 2026, 11:16 pm

Small Businesses, Innovators, Creators Drive Innovation and Growth

SBE Council is proud to join our small business allies and fellow organizations – all dedicated to fueling innovation and protecting intellectual property (IP) – in celebrating WORLD IP DAY 2026. The goal of the day is to increase the general understanding of the importance of IP. As we note in our message below:

“On this World IP Day, we call on leaders in Congress and the White House to protect the IP system that powers American innovation, because behind every patent filed, every trademark registered, and every trade secret protected is a competitive entrepreneur pursuing the next great American idea.”
