From October 19 to 22, 2024, the 127th AIPPI World Congress was successfully held in the beautiful city of Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. This marked the first time in AIPPI’s 127-year history that this prestigious global intellectual property (IP) event took place in China. As one of the oldest and most influential non-governmental international organizations in the IP field, AIPPI has been dedicated to the protection and development of intellectual property worldwide since its founding in 1897. The China Chapter, established in 1982, has actively promoted the internationalization of China’s IP protection efforts.

On October 21, during the conference, Chang Tsi & Partners, together with the China Trademark Association, successfully met with the AIPPI President, Vice President, and Secretary General. Additionally, productive discussions were held with officials from the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO). The meetings centered on the latest trends in global IP protection and cooperation on improving legal frameworks. These exchanges not only enhanced mutual trust and collaboration on an international level but also injected new momentum into the global development of China’s IP sector.

As a leading IP law firm in China, Chang Tsi is committed to the mission of "fostering global cooperation and sharing the future of intellectual property". This Congress has further solidified its influence on the international stage. Moving forward, Chang Tsi will continue to actively participate in international IP affairs, working alongside global partners to tackle new challenges and seize opportunities in the evolving IP landscape.
