There is IP on the field, in the courts... everywhere!

From the moment you step into a sports arena, you’re surrounded by different types of intellectual property (IP) that power performance, protect innovation, and elevate the fan experience.

From the brand names and logos on jerseys, the design of your favorite sneakers, the technology behind fitness trackers, to even the equipment used in training, IP plays a role in all of these.

So next time you’re on the court, in the gym, or cheering from the sidelines, remember, you’re also witnessing the power of creativity, innovation, and IP in action.

This National Intellectual Property Month, let’s celebrate how IP keeps the game moving forward.
