Background and Importance of the Congress Founded in 1897, AIPPI is a non-profit international organization dedicated to the development and advancement of intellectual property rights worldwide. Each year, the AIPPI Congress brings together IP experts and representatives from around the globe to discuss key issues and challenges in the field. The theme of this year's congress was \"Balanced Protection of IP and Innovation Development,\" which focused on how to protect intellectual property while fostering innovation and economic growth.<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
