Minister Minors said, “The global theme published this year by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) is “Designing the Future” to underline the central, and often unrecognized, role that design plays in our lives.”
“The Government of Bermuda is committed to encouraging Bermudians of every age to recognize their creative spark, their inner problem-solver and the author, artist and musician that is latent and often unexplored. Intellectual property being the creations of one’s mind are some of Bermuda’s greatest assets and the promotion and protection of these assets is vital to our economy, our development and our future.”
“It is for this reason that we have created a special essay competition for our middle and senior school students. Participation in the essay competition enables them to better understand and appreciate what intellectual property is and its relevance in today’s world. This competition also provides an opportunity to our children to develop an interest in intellectual property matters and to utilize their inherent skills, talents and aptitudes in expressing ways in which they see intellectual property impacting on them as individuals and on society as a whole.”
