The importance of intellectual property (I.P.) to business cannot be overstated, especially in today's knowledge and creative economy. Innovation is the key to sustainable development in business. Companies of all nature and sizes cannot risk neglecting innovation, and the creation, management and deployment of I.P. rights, including patents for invention, industrial designs, copyright and trade marks - or they run the risk of falling behind.

For the fourth year running, BIP Forum provides an insightful platform for I.P. experts and companies, to share critical strategies and situations in the creation, management and deployment of I.P. rights in today's highly competitive world of trade and business. International and local experts will present the latest trend and development, and will share valuable experience and insight on the opportunities to innovation and I.P., particularly amidst new developments in the Pearl River Delta.

BIP Forum is one of the events under Business of Design Week (BODW) and is funded by Create Hong Kong, Commerce and Economic Development Bureau.
