April 26, 2024, marks the 24th World Intellectual Property Day. To celebrate this special occasion, we hosted a special lecture “Industry design protection lights up the international market” for our clients.

The lecture featured Mr. Lü Guoliang, Senior Consultant at the China Office of the United Nations World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), Hague System Expert, former Deputy Director of the WIPO China Office, and former Director of the International Cooperation Department of the National Intellectual Property Administration.

Mr. Lü delivered a half-day lecture on the theme “Illuminating the International Market with Industrial Design Protection.” The lecture was rich and diverse, covering both theoretical explanations and practical case analyses, enabling participants to gain a comprehensive understanding of various aspects of intellectual property protection.

During the lecture, participants actively interacted with the speaker, engaging in discussions on the challenges and opportunities of ip protection. Many representatives from businesses expressed that through this lecture, they not only deepened their understanding of ip protection but also gained practical methods and suggestions for international intellectual property protection.

These insights will help them better protect their intellectual property in future innovative developments and facilitate their companies’ expansion into overseas markets.

In addition to the rich academic content, this lecture series also provided a platform for learning and exchange for businesses and individuals. Topics such as the eHague application tutorial were shared, providing effective technical support for businesses to complete online submissions of international design applications.

This series of activities not only promoted the dissemination and application of intellectual property protection knowledge but also provided valuable opportunities for industry professionals to exchange ideas and learn from each other.

This lecture series is not only a celebration of World Intellectual Property Day but also a commitment to and responsibility for serving our clients. We will continue to uphold this spirit, providing our clients with more high-quality intellectual property protection services, and jointly promoting the vibrant development of innovation and progress.
