What an inspiring evening of innovation and collaboration! Last Thursday, Eagle IP was honored to once again host the American Intellectual Property Law Association (AIPLA) Women in IP Global Networking Event in Hong Kong, joining forces with hundreds of remarkable women across 40+ global cities.

In the spirit of this year’s theme “Innovation and Collaboration,” we gathered fellow female leaders, innovators, entrepreneurs and IP practitioners to share their amazing career journeys and lessons learnt along the way. We started off the evening with Jennifer Che and Pauli Wong, sharing their paths from scientists that transitioned into an IP career, and what it means to them now to support scientists as IP professionals. We were also privileged to have Dr. Cathy Jim, of RHT Industries Limited, share with us her inspiring journey as a Chemist and Entrepreneur. Cathy recounted how she and her team overcame many difficulties along their path to providing a better solution to real world air quality problems through science. Her one piece of advice and guiding principle? Resilience. At 8PM HKT, we promptly dialed into a joint video call to say hello to hundreds of women at 40+ participating cities around the world holding their own simultaneous events.

To all who joined us: thank you for your lively participation and sharing. Together, we’re not just shaping the future of innovation—we’re redefining what it means to lead. Here’s to many more years of collaboration, growth, and breaking barriers!
