Henry Goh’s representatives, Ms. Azlina Aisyah Khalid, Head of Legal and Ms. Yan Pei Chun, Patent Manager and Senior Patent Agent recently attended the AIPPI World Congress in Hangzhou, China from 19 – 22 October 2024.

Hosted annually by the International Association for Protection of Intellectual Property, this year saw almost 2300 delegates congregating at the Hangzhou International Exhibition Centre to participate in an array of activities which included panel and round table sessions as well as networking opportunities. The theme, “Balanced Protection of IP and Innovation Development”, was apt considering the issues, challenges and current global trends facing the IP industry and their stakeholders.

Mr. Zhang Guoqing, the Vice Premier of State Council, officiated the Opening Ceremony and he also took the opportunity to deliver President’s Xi Jinping’s congratulatory message to the participants. One of the highlights of the event was the Cultural Evening where the attendees were treated to a mesmerizing night of musical and light performances at the famed West Lake entitled “Enduring Memories of Hangzhou”.

Despite a hectic week filled with back-to-back meetings and attendances at various receptions in the evenings, both Azlina and Pei Chun unanimously agreed that their participation in the AIPPI World Congress was a thoroughly enjoyable and unforgettable experience for them.

See you in Yokohama 2025!
