We were glad to take part in BioHK2026 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre last week, and to meet many friends and professionals from the biotech, healthcare and life sciences sectors.

Our Yolanda Wang moderated the Patent Session panel, "Protect & Resolve: The Biotech IP Playbook for Going Global," on September 12. The discussion covered practical points for biotech companies expanding internationally, including IP planning, risk management and dispute resolution.
