XIX SPTO Summer course UIMP: the contribution of Industrial Property to the ArtsXIX SPTO Summer course UIMP: the contribution of Industrial Property to the Arts Art requires inspiration, inventiveness, and the work of the artist to be created. Moreover, once this process has taken place, Industrial and Intellectual Property (IP) rights come into play to provide adequate and effective protection for their creations. Designs, trademarks, patents, and copyrights prove the ownership of artists' inventions and works and prevent them from being reproduced or distributed without their consent. This symbiosis between the world of art and IP is what we analyzed at the 19th Seminar of the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office (OEPM) organized as part of the Menéndez Pelayo International University (UIMP) Summer Courses, “Industrial Property and its Contribution to the Arts.” Technological evolution has enabled the development of different artistic expressions. This phenomenon is most evident in the more modern disciplines, such as cinema and photography, but we also find it in the older ones. Consider, for example, urban artists who use spray paint instead of the palettes used by the masters of yesteryear, or sculptors and architects who use 3D printing to create their designs. The emergence of all these innovations and their widespread use have been made possible by industrial property rights, which have protected them, providing guarantees to their creators, while at the same time transferring all this knowledge to society as a whole, which has benefited from being able to use it. Artists, academics, and professionals from music, architecture, photography, fashion, literature, design, and gastronomy have analyzed and debated during the course how industrial property has contributed to the development of the arts throughout history and how, in recent times, it has done so increasingly intensely due to the rise of culture and the entertainment industry.
