ASEAN IPA Attends “International Forum on the Development of Intellectual Property Services” and Co-organizes the Seminar “ASEAN Intellectual Property Thematic Event” in Beijing
At the invitation of the Capital Intellectual Property Services Association (“CIPSA”), a delegation from ASEAN IPA, including Mr. Pham Nghiem Xuan Bac (President), Mr. Soh Kar Liang (Former President, Country Head of Singapore Group), and Ms. Nguyen Huong Giang (Honorable Secretary), attended the International Forum on the Development of Intellectual Property Services on 13 September 2024. The forum was co-hosted by CIPSA and China Council for International Investment Promotion, and co-organized by the International Intellectual Property Rights Protection Committee of Beijing and Chamber of International Commerce, at part of the 2024 China International Fair for Trade in Services (“CIFTIS”) in Beijing, China.
The forum aimed to present the development trends in the intellectual property service industry to international innovators, foster exchanges in the IP service sector among various countries and regions, and create a platform for collaboration within the intellectual property industry. According to a recent report from CIPSA, the forum was attended, both online and offline, by 1,000 representatives from relevant government departments, domestic and foreign innovation entities, and IP service agencies.
During the forum, Mr. Pham Nghiem Xuan Bac, on behalf of ASEAN IPA, participated in the Signing Ceremony of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on Cooperation between CIPSA and ASEAN IPA. The MOU establishes a foundation for a long-term, mutually beneficial partnership between the two associations, with the aim of advancing cooperation in the IP field and thereby strengthening economic ties between the two economies. This collaboration will focus on providing assistance to IP owners and organizing seminars and training courses on IP matters for innovators from both regions, among other initiatives.
