Intellectual Property



Mission Statement


Encompassing patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, and industrial designs, Intellectual Property is a rapidly expanding area of law in the context of a technologically advancing world economy. With the large number of innovative companies doing business in the Asia-Pacific region, a thorough understanding of intellectual property law is indispensable to many lawyers in the region.

The objectives of the Intellectual Property Committee are to share and exchange ideas or information amongst the practitioners of Intellectual Property Law, to apply and enforce such laws, to participate in meetings and conferences held by the Association to achieve the above objectives, and to acquaint members of the same profession with each other.


Our Committee


The Intellectural Property Committee on its own and jointly with other IPBA Committees, has put together a number of interesting panel discussions on timely topics.  These have included in the past:

  • IP/IT Challenges in the Business Landscape
  • Resolution of Trade Secret Dispute
  • Free Trade Agreements in Asia - What Works & What Does Not?
  • Facilitating IP in Innovation
  • Intersection of IP Competition and International Trade - Technological Innovation, Technology Standards
  • Clean Tech – The Implications of New Technology in a Global Crisis

We invite all IPBA members to join our Committee by contacting one of our Committee's leaders.
