2024 AIPPI World Congress

news article

4 Dec

Richard Stilwell recently represented Lysaght at AIPPI’s World Congress event in Hangzhou, marking the first time an international IP conference has been held in China. As always, the event brought together legal experts, academics, and industry leaders from around the world to discuss the latest developments in IP law and policy.

Richard participated in the Independent Member delegation, as well as the Young AIPPI Forum, in discussing various topics relevant to those groups within the AIPPI structure. The conference also featured exhibitions showcasing the latest innovations in IP management and protection, and allowed plenty of networking opportunities with new and existing clients alike.

A return journey via Beijing also gave Richard the chance to meet with key contacts based in the Chinese capital.

AIPPI maintains its presence in the Far East next year, with the next Congress taking place in Yokohama in September 2025. We hope to see you there.
