The Hanoi ASEAN IPA AGM and council meetings were held in Hilton Hanoi Opera Hotel from 11 to 13 march 2011. The event had proved to be an excellent opportunity for professionals in ASEAN and elsewhere to participate and observe the discussions in the existing and future direction of intellectual property laws and practices in the ASEAN region. As always, the event was also to provide an unequaled opportunity for the attendees to see old friends, meet new ones and learn something about the cultural heritage of the hosting venue.
The theme of 2011 Hanoi ASEAN IPA Conference was to touch on the impact of IP protection on the decision making of investors, and IP owner’s perception of the infringement of IPR in the ASEAN region and ways for improvement and cooperation in this regard.
There were about 200 participants to attend such a Conference who are both IP professional as well as non-IP professional and come from both ASEAN and non-ASEAN countries. The 2011 ASEAN IPA Conference was presented by seasoned in-house counsels/experts speakers from the United States of America, Japan, Italy, Argentina, China, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippine, and Thailand, representatives from various organizations such as the National Office of Intellectual Property of Vietnam (NOIP), Vietnam Intellectual Property Association (VIPA), Ministry of Planning and Investment, representative(s) of international organization(s) and foreign embassies in Hanoi.
