in effect
Proclamation 10924 is a symbolic presidential proclamation — a formal declaration that carries no binding legal force. Signed on April 26, 2025, it designates that date as “World Intellectual Property Day” in the United States and encourages Americans to recognize the contributions of inventors and creators.
A proclamation of this type creates no new law, regulation, or government program. It references existing and separate actions — an Executive Order on AI, the establishment of a Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, and ongoing trade policy using tariffs — but does not itself enact or modify any of those. No deadlines, funding levels, or agency mandates are created by this document. The only concrete directive is the ceremonial designation of April 26, 2025, as World Intellectual Property Day.
No person or organization gains or loses any legal right, obligation, or benefit as a direct result of this proclamation. Inventors, artists, musicians, writers, and technology companies are mentioned as the intended beneficiaries of the broader IP policies the proclamation references, but those effects flow from the separate actions cited, not from this document itself.
