Earth Month, IP Week, Earth Day....

April is Earth Month. Earth Day is April 22nd.
Intellectual Property week is April 25th - 29th (a very short week), and IP Day is April 26th.
 
The CopyrightAlliance is also celebrating Arab American Heritage Month by sharing profiles of Arab American creators on the copyrightalliance's social media sites every Friday in April.
 
The WIPO theme for IP Day this year is  Intellectual Property and Youth, Innovating for a Better Future.
 
The official hashtag for 2022 is #WorldIPDay.
 
Although the theme is focused on young persons (defined as under 35 years of age), IP day is a great name-exposure opportunity for any writer or blog author who takes the time to register their blog or website in advance, and to write an on-topic blog for the day, and to link it to the WIPO and copyrightalliance bloglinks.
 
There will also be multiple events and presentations, and blog-hopping, and if you are set up with a photo and textlink sig file, and are willing to leave encouraging and selfless comments on other persons' pages, that is more excellent exposure. 

Some sites use spam filters, such as Akismet, which is why it is important to know how to avoid being mistaken for spam!  Not every site allows links within comments. Know the policy.

If you have not joined copyrightalliance.org, membership is free and very good value.
 
WIPO offers tools.
 
The secret is to promote the cause (intellectual property awareness + interests of young creators), and probably keep a count-down calendar so that you are registered and ready to participate in as many events as possible, in the best possible taste (to coin a phrase), and with maximum generous relevance.
 
The Copyright Alliance will be updating their website with blog topics in the coming days.
 
The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation is hosting two events: Innovating For A Better Future  and The Way Forward for Intellectual Property Internationally.  
 
You can expect that Music Tech Policy, and TheTrichordist will probably support the international day of blogging about IP. It is likely that some of the legal blogs such as FileWrapper, The IP Law Blog, and The Global IP and Technology Law blog may also celebrate IP Day.
 
As for Earth Day, I plan to plant a herb garden!
 
All the best,
