Innovative design brings comfort and color to our lives 🎨💡✏️📐✂️ Good design connects us emotionally to the products we use and love – from accessories and clothes to electronics, furniture, vehicles and even digital objects. To better support the designers who create these products, negotiators at WIPO are working on an international treaty that would make it easier for them to protect and promote their work at home and abroad. The final stage of negotiations will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in November 2024. Let’s support our designers as they work to create a better, more beautiful world for all of us.
