AIPT Group Wins GLA “IP Lawyer of the Year” Award, Highlighting Taiwan's IP Leadership on the Global Stage

AIPT Group was invited to attend the 8th Global Legal Association (GLA) Annual Arbitration & Litigation Summit, held on January 22–23, 2026, at the Asian International Arbitration Centre (AIAC) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where it received the “IP Lawyer of the Year” award.

The award recognizes AIPT Group's professional capabilities in intellectual property framework design, cross-border patent and trademark portfolio planning, strategic integration of corporate intangible assets, and international intellectual property services. It also signifies the growing visibility of Taiwan's intellectual property service capabilities in the international legal and business arenas.

Invited to Attend the International Arbitration and Litigation Summit

The 8th Global Legal Association Annual Arbitration & Litigation Summit brought together arbitration institutions from countries across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, along with international law firms and senior legal executives from multinational corporations, to discuss key issues including the rule of law, business competition, cross-border dispute resolution, and international compliance governance.

AIPT Group founder and Chairman Ivan Chen attended and accepted the award on behalf of the team. Business Director Sharon Liu also delivered remarks at the event, sharing AIPT's practical perspectives on intellectual property, corporate risk management, and cross-border service integration with international delegates.

From Rights Acquisition to Rights Governance

At the summit, Chairman Ivan Chen noted that, amid the restructuring of global supply chains and the growing prevalence of cross-border business operations, corporate demand for intellectual property has gradually shifted from a sole focus on “rights acquisition” toward more comprehensive “rights governance.”

For enterprises, the ability to manage intellectual property risks across jurisdictions, reduce cross-border compliance costs, strengthen leverage in licensing negotiations, and integrate patents, trademarks, technological achievements, and brand assets into manageable and deployable corporate assets has become a key factor in global competitiveness.

AIPT Group has long specialized in patents, trademarks, technology licensing, and cross-border intellectual property services. It will continue to help enterprises establish intellectual property management systems that offer greater predictability and efficiency and better meet the needs of international markets.

Recognition of Systematized Operations and Cross-Border Collaboration

In recent years, AIPT Group has actively strengthened its systematized operating processes and cross-border collaboration mechanisms, helping clients undertake coordinated patent, trademark, brand, and technology asset planning across multiple jurisdictions. Through professional specialization, case management, cross-border cooperation with IP agents, and IP risk analysis, AIPT continues to provide enterprises with more comprehensive international intellectual property support.

Receiving the GLA “IP Lawyer of the Year” award not only recognizes the AIPT team's years of effort, but also demonstrates that AIPT's professional value in cross-border intellectual property services, corporate intangible asset governance, and international legal collaboration has attracted attention on the international stage.

Expanding a Global Intellectual Property Protection Network with Taiwan at Its Core

AIPT Group is currently headquartered in Taiwan and maintains a presence in Japan, Hong Kong, and other locations. It continues to integrate collaborative resources across Asia and worldwide to help enterprises address their needs for multi-jurisdictional filings, intellectual property risk management, technology licensing, brand protection, and intangible asset planning.

Going forward, AIPT Group will continue to expand its global intellectual property service footprint and gradually extend its presence into Southeast Asia and Europe. It will build an intellectual property protection network centered on Taiwan and connecting Asia with global markets, helping enterprises advance steadily in global competition.

AIPT Group will regard this award as a new milestone and continue to deepen its capabilities in professional intellectual property services, cross-border risk advisory, and the strategic integration of corporate intangible assets, delivering intellectual property service outcomes that provide clients with stronger protection, greater competitiveness, and international value.
