150 years ago, the first telephone call marked the beginning of one of the greatest technological milestones in the history of communication. The invention of the telephone forever changed the way people exchange information, connect and collaborate.

The innovation of telephone did not come about by chance. It is the result of technical knowledge and the protection of an invention through a patent, which enabled its further development and widespread application. It is precisely such inventions that show how intellectual property plays a key role in transforming an idea into a new technological solution and innovation that shapes everyday life.

World Telecommunication and Information Society Day reminds us how innovations in communication, from telephones to modern digital technologies, shape the way we work, learn and connect. Behind this progress are ideas, knowledge and technical solutions which protection is crucial for further development.

In the year when we celebrate the 35th anniversary of SIPO, we emphasize the importance of intellectual property as the foundation of innovation in the field of telecommunications and technology, from the first patent for the telephone to today's information society.
