Our principal, Ms. Pauli Wong, was invited to speak at the Hong Kong Life Sciences Society (HKLSS) Summer Internship Program 2024 on “Unlocking Patent Law: Exploring IP Career Paths” in July. This program aims to cultivate young talents to drive life sciences innovation. In addition, she participated in the discussion session titled “Evolving Landscape – Investment Outlook for the Healthcare and Life Sciences Sectors” alongside Mr. Tian Tan, the Vice President of NF Trinity.

Pauli shared her career journey becoming a patent attorney at Eagle IP, from an HKU biotech graduate and a scientist with CK Life Sciences. She provided an introduction to intellectual property, particularly patents, and life sciences challenges we are facing, and how to pursue a career path in patent law. By sharing her own experiences, Pauli offered valuable insights and guidance to the aspiring interns to appreciate the importance of IP and consider a career path in patent law.
