Director General

«On behalf of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), I would like to congratulate the organizers of the Salon Archimedes on its 15th anniversary and wish

them much success in their activities.

The effective protection of intellectual property is widely recognized throughout the world as a vital instrument for the sustainable promotion of the economic, social and cultural development of all nations. The effective use of intangible assets, such as intellectual property titles and technological know-how, is an important factor for the successful development of business, not only for large multi-national corporations, but also for small family enterprises.

Creativity and scientific curiosity, inherent in all mankind, should be encouraged at all levels. Inventors and Innovators contribute to improving the standard of living and to economic development. Such a contribution merits moral and material support from the State and civic society at large, so that the results of the activity invention and innovation are duly rewarded through the protection of intellectual property rights.

Throughout the last two decades, the Salon Archimedes has been instrumental in promoting intellectual property among the inventors and business community in the Russian Federation and has significantly contributed to facilitating contacts between the Salon participants and to the development of an intellectual property market.

I commend you most warmly on these important results.»
