ACR 113 California Assembly · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relative to Intellectual Property Awareness Month.

ACR 113 designates October 2025 as Intellectual Property Awareness Month in California. This symbolic resolution does not create new laws or impose legal requirements but encourages state agencies, schools, and organizations to host educational events about intellectual property rights, including patents, copyrights, and trademarks. The measure aims to increase public understanding of how intellectual property protections support innovation, creativity, and economic growth. It has no direct impact on individuals or businesses but serves as a non-binding call for awareness activities during the designated month.
