World Intellectual Property Day, 2025

By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation

More than 200 years ago, our Founding Fathers
recognized the profound importance of intellectual
property, enshrining government-granted legal
protections in the Constitution to safeguard American
innovation. On World Intellectual Property Day, we
renew our resolve to protect and secure the creative
triumphs of American inventors and artists as they work
to pull the future into the present and turn their
dreams into our reality.

Americans have always been leaders in the realms of
technology and ideas--and under my Administration, we
are driving innovation in every sector, including
emerging digital technologies like artificial
intelligence. I recently signed an Executive Order on
Removing Barriers to American Leadership in Artificial
Intelligence to slash red tape and ensure our continued
leadership in this and other critical industries like
automation, blockchain, data analytics, and
cybersecurity.

For this reason, I established the Council of Advisors
on Science and Technology, which is bringing together
the best and brightest to shape the United States'
innovation policy and ensure our continued
technological leadership. My Administration will not
waver in protecting and securing emerging, next-
generation technologies that will drive progress and
growth in the 21st century.

My Administration is taking strong action to protect
the promise of American innovation. For too long, our
adversaries and allies alike have sapped our strength
and exploited American advancements. Through the
strategic use of tariffs, we are recentering our trade
policy and securing stronger intellectual property
protections in new and existing trade deals. Just as we
protect our physical property, we will not tolerate the
theft of our intellectual property, and we will defend
our businesses and people from those who are seeking to
steal American jobs and wealth.

As President Calvin Coolidge once said in an immortal
maxim that remains true to this day, ``The business of
America is business.'' Our economy is the greatest in
the world because we, more than any other country,
incentivize individuals to dream big, take risks, and
make the impossible possible. Through our promotion and
protection of intellectual property, we are empowering
musicians, writers, authors, scientists, and inventors
to focus on what they do best.

The future of our great Nation depends on the continued
safeguarding of our intellectual property, which fuels
economic growth, technological progress, and global
competitiveness. This World Intellectual Property Day,
we reaffirm our unwavering commitment to protecting and
promoting the innovative spirit that continues to make
America great.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the
United States of America, by virtue of the authority
vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the
United States, do hereby proclaim April 26, 2025, as
World Intellectual Property Day. I encourage Americans
to celebrate the extraordinary achievements of our
creators and inventors and the contributions they have
made and will continue making to our country.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
twenty-sixth day of April, in the year of our Lord two
thousand twenty-five, and of the Independence of the
United States of America the two hundred and forty-
ninth.
