Strategically located at the heart of Manila is the Makati Central Business District, Philippines’ financial capital and this year’s chosen venue for the annual Asian Patent Attorneys Association (APAA). The energetic cosmopolitan Makati opens up endless prospects to its foreign guests who convened to attend the conference from 12 - 15 November 2011. Henry Goh sent a contingent consisting of our Director of Singapore office, Mr Ameen Kalani; Business Development Manager, Ms Oon Yen Yen; Legal Counsel, Mr Lim Eng Leong and Patent Agent, Mr Alvin Boey.

There was a common consensus amongst the participants that IP in Asia will continue to grow stronger and stay relevant in years to come despite the challenging global economic climate.
