Our principal, Ms. Pauli Wong, was invited by HKUST to speak at their Entrepreneurship 101 Training Program on the topic of protecting start-ups through intellectual property. Her talk, titled “Patent 101 for Entrepreneurs and Start-Ups,” covered the fundamentals of IP, with a particular focus on patents. She highlighted often-overlooked aspects and shared invaluable tips to help start-up entrepreneurs avoid common pitfalls.

Pauli really enjoyed giving the talk and felt inspired by the positive feedback from the audience. She found it rewarding to share her knowledge about intellectual property and its importance for entrepreneurs. This experience has motivated her to give more presentations in the future, as she wants to reach more people and help them understand IP better.

On a side note, we want to wish the HKUST Entrepreneurship Center a happy 25th anniversary, which they are celebrating this week!
