We were delighted to participate in the Entrepreneurship Series 2026 organised by the Hong Kong Life Sciences Society (HKLSS), where our Principal, Pauli Wong, delivered a session on "Patent Strategy for Life Sciences Spinouts: From Discovery to Deal-Ready IP". Pauli shared practical insights into the various forms of IP and patent protection available to innovators, key considerations for safeguarding life sciences inventions, and the unique IP opportunities and challenges facing businesses operating across the Greater Bay Area (GBA).

Thank you to HKLSS for the invitation and to all attendees for the engaging discussion. Eagle IP remains committed to supporting innovation, entrepreneurship, and the growth of Hong Kong's life sciences ecosystem.
