IP and sustainability: Innovation for a brighter future

The protection and management of intellectual property rights is an important part of innovation in the field of green and sustainable technology and can play an important part in Iceland’s contribution towards tackling the environmental challenges we are facing today. This was the focus of the ISIPO’s 30th anniversary conference.

How can we create a better world through innovation? This 30th anniversary conference of the Icelandic Intellectual Property Office, IP and sustainability: Innovation for a brighter future, will explore the interrelation between intellectual property, innovation and sustainability.

Published today, the ISIPO‘s Annual Report 2020 reviews an eventful year for our office which featured important amendments to Iceland's trademark legislation and changes in our operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Today the Icelandic Intellectual Property Office celebrates its 30th anniversary. On the 1st of July 1991 the office, then the Icelandic Patent Office, opened its doors for the first time in Reykjavík.

The ISIPO participated in the Icelandic Innovation Week that took place for the second time from 26 May till 2 June.
