Congratulations for the well-attended Dubai event bringing together so many esteemed professionals from all over the world. Discussions were plenty and enriching. Looking forward to meeting again!
I participated for the first time in Wotld IP Forum 2018. I was an invited speaker. I must tell you I had the most wonderful experience in it. What I like about this is several things which were wholly different to all the other world and local conferences. Here they are for easy reference
The forum organizing timeline was flexible and the topics as well.
The timing given for presentation is great.
All the co panelists and speakers were very well chosen for their subjects and the topics were very timely and appropriately designated.
All participants I noted were extremely well interested in the sessions and networking both which made it very serious when it had to be and fun at the other times.
The venue too was very good, good ambience and great location.
Finally I must reiterate that I m a regular speaker for many international forums on aspects of Entertainment Law but the best experience I had in every area was at the World
It was indeed a wonderful session and I feel proud to be part of this event, now for subsequently two years. There is no other Forum in the world, which provides such a networking and interaction with numerous IP practitioner from all part of the world, under one roof. All the presentations were very useful and informative, and provision of selecting the session of your choice is the best part of the conference. I would like to congratulate each member of organizing team for organizing such a huge and successful event. All the best for future assignments.
"This World IP Forum conference is very different from other IP convention, in a very positive way. This is at a large part due to the fact that the panel discussions come with highly motivated panelists that are usually passionate about what they want to say. This makes the sessions very exciting, as compared with other conventions where selected speakers share what a committee in the background has decided to ventilate to the public."
"Indeed, the conference was a good learning and networking experience for us. We really enjoyed the quality and content of the conference, the selection of topics and session was insightful and contemporary. We appreciate the great energy and worldwide attendance of the attorneys"

The WIPF at Dubai was a very diverse and interesting insight to the state of IP, in particular with focus on the far East and US. A lot of the information was new for me and very usefull in my daily work.
The Dubai WIPF-2018 was excellent and thanks to make the event such a success. It provides a valuable opportunity to meet experienced and insightful experts and listen to hottest IP topics. Looking forwards to attending more of these events in the future.
The sessions were of excellent quality: in particular I learnt more about the effects of Artificial Intelligence on all aspects of Intellectual Property Rights and all of the advantages and pitfalls of using “free†/ open-source software than I had had in previous IP conferences I have attended.
As far as networking was concerned, I made several high level contacts in major companies that I’m hoping are going to lead to future business in the next six months.
WIPF was a great experience and kudos to the organizers of first class event for gathering so many professionals along with well-known leaders to talk about critical and trending issues in IP industry.

Patrick J. Coyne - (Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner, LLP)
Excellent conference. Attracts top practitioners and corporate counsel from around the world. Excellent networking opportunities. Well-organized and some of the panels were particularly informative. Great production values.
The 2018 WIPF event was well organized; the organizers deserve a BIG applause. The topics for the panels at the 2018 WIPF covered multiple facets of IP. I wish the organizers to organize an even more successful event at Taipei in 2019 which I am looking forward to attending.
I have had the opportunity to speak at the WIPF for several years and I saw the conference grow and improve on a regular basis. The level of the speakers and topics are very good. In addition, the conference provides a great opportunity for networking and developing business opportunities.
WIPF provides an opportunity to better understand current IP issues on a regional and global scale, and to directly interact with IP legal experts in various technologies.
Participation from a diverse group of experts across the globe and thought-leaders along side selection of fitting discussion topics is whats makes WIPF a great IP conference to attend.
The WIPF 2018 was the best IP legal assemblage that I have attended till date. The level of discussions were at a high level and the networks built were far more than just exchange of pleasantries. I think the WIPF 2018 was a perfect mix of IP lawyers, researchers, academicians, service providers and therefore it went on to be the success that it is.
I had a really great time, made a number of new friends and learned a lot. The sessions (panel discussions) were very informative on the current IP topics and intellectually stimulating. I am very grateful for the opportunity to meet the senior IP Professionals and colleagues and look forward to attending future events. I wish the WIPF team a hearty congratulation in organizing the wonderful event.
It was a pleasure to take part in such an organized and well thought out conference. The conference combined interesting topics and speakers, and allowed for plenty of networking with local and international participants. Looking forward to WIPF 2019.
It was the first time I attended WIPF and it was an enriching experience in all aspects. Academically, I was able to learn and deepen in several topics of intellectual property and in labor issues, knowing colleagues from different countries with the opportunity to increase the field of work of my firm.
“The WIPF conferences are consistently well organized. The organizers are very professional and do a stellar job whether the conference is located in India or abroad. It was a pleasure to moderate and lead some of the educational sessions to a receptive and engaged audience - on the latest and most pressing IP issues of the day along with other knowledgable IP experts from around the world.â€
The World IP Forum assembled a top notch group of international IP thought leaders, skilled practitioners, and corporate representatives from all over the world to discuss how to best motivate and protect innovation. The ability to discuss IP Strategy in a global context with practitioners with experience in so many different jurisdictions was amazing. The level of quality in both the participants and the discussions was amaxing and the organizers of the World IP Forum should be commended for it.
WIPF 2019 in Taipei has been extremely interesting, indeed. I have learned a lot from my co-speakers as well as other moderators, and I am looking forward to a next event to take place in a hopefully not too distant future, be it in India, be it elsewhere!
WIPF 2019 was an absolute delight. The best part of the Forum was the intense discussions that you get to experience by some great global IP leaders. Also, the forum was a good mix of World participants and therefore interacting with them was fun. This year I presented a talk alongside speakers from USA & Canada which was a brilliant experience. I will continue to attend this forum as it’s one of a kind and you take back so much with you in just three days of being there. The best part of it all is the WIPF Team which makes your time at the forum all together more interesting.
The World Intellectual Property Forum continues to be an essential event for anyone working in the global Intellectual Property field. Each event features cutting edge tips on handling IPR around the world in addition to recent development in courts and government regulations. WIPF is always a rewarding experience, being incredibly well-run and offering ample opportunity to network with other professionals.
Very well organised conference for international IP experts! As a moderator of a panel discussion in the 2019 edition of the World IP Forum I thoroughly enjoyed the valuable insights from a globally composed panel of patent litigators and licensing experts. Hope to have another opportunity to attend this conference in the near future.
Participating in the World IP Forum in Taipei has been a great opportunity to share with great professionals and experts, and to know the different points of view, which allows us to understand more easily that diversity in globality leads us to great advances.
I would like to thank you so much for conducting the most wonderful Conference early this November and for your great efforts to make it happen. It was a fruitful and amazing time for me and all colleagues from many parts of the world. WIPF was very interesting and stimulating for me, in terms of its contents, the organization aspects and beautiful sights of Taipei. Wishing you all the best and seeing you at the next WIPF.

The speakers and panelists were very knowledgeable in their respective areas of practice. I would recommend IP practitioners to attend future WIPF.

I was truly honored to participate in the virtual WIPF webinar in 2020. Like every edition, it was a wonderful opportunity to share knowledge in my area of Entertainment Law. Having been a part of WIPF since 2018, I have always appreciated its uniqueness. Each year, the program explores areas of IP that no other conference does, featuring speeches and presentations from the best experts in the world.
The meticulous planning and attention to detail make each conference a high-class production. It provides participants not only with a wealth of knowledge but also with excellent opportunities to network with top professionals in the industry. I look forward to participating in many more WIPF conferences in the years to come!
Rarely do conferences check all the boxes—and then go beyond. The Bengaluru edition of WIPF (2023) brought together an impressive body of corporate professionals, litigators, academics, and inventors from India and abroad, exceeding expectations. It was a perfect blend of making new friends, reconnecting with old ones, and learning from insightful sessions and discussions—all under one roof. A truly well-planned and well-executed event.
It was a wonderful experience to be part of WIPF, connecting with IP leaders from various organizations and law firms. I truly enjoyed sharing my views during the panel discussion and engaging with other eminent leaders. The sessions covered many recent and relevant IP topics, making the event both insightful and valuable. Kudos and heartfelt thanks to Navin for such a well-executed event!
Special thank to Navin for organizing WIPF Bengaluru 2023 on such a grand scale. Everything was exceptionally well managed. It was a pleasure meeting and interacting with so many dynamic IP professionals. The session topics were highly relevant, and the speakers were extremely knowledgeable.
Navin, you have created a wonderful platform for the IP fraternity in India. As a first-time participant, I was truly spellbound by the immense opportunities for learning and networking—both of which are vital for professional growth. WIPF offered me valuable global exposure, and meeting industry experts was the cherry on top. The unique strength of your event lies in bringing together all stakeholders in the field of IP under one roof for four days of exchanging knowledge, experience, and connections. Truly, a great job!
I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the incredible experience I had at WIPF 2023 in Bangalore. It was truly an exceptional event for us.
The content was diverse, informative, and engaging, and I truly felt both learning and contributing to the industry at a personal level. I was delighted to see a full house during my talk on UAE Patent Law. As someone who is always seeking opportunities to grow, this conference exceeded my expectations.
On a personal note, the event was a refreshing break from my daily routine. It gave me the chance to step back, reflect on my work and goals, gain fresh perspectives, and recharge with new inspiration. I left feeling reinvigorated and excited about the future.
Once again, my heartfelt thanks for all the hard work and dedication that went into planning and executing this remarkable conference. Heartfelt thanks to Navin for creating such a valuable and truly memorable experience.
The event provided an excellent platform for exchanging ideas and insights on Intellectual Property. The sessions were both informative and engaging, covering a wide range of topics with outstanding speakers and panel discussions. Overall, it was a well-organized event that offered valuable opportunities for learning and knowledge sharing.
I was honored to chair the panel discussion and had the opportunity to share my perspective on 'Global Mechanisms in the Protection of Traditional Knowledge.' Many thanks to Navin and his team for hosting such a wonderful event, which will remain a memorable experience in our journey. It was indeed a great platform to learn and network with eminent IP professionals from industry, law firms, and academia. I look forward to many more such impactful events in the future.
I really enjoyed participating in WIPF 2023. The four days were filled with engaging panels covering the latest developments in IP, along with excellent networking opportunities and meaningful interactions. Listening to experts from diverse industries truly enriched my knowledge. WIPF is indeed the place to be for anyone passionate about IP.
The 11th edition of WIPF Bangalore 2023 was a wonderful blend of formal and informal meetings and discussions, often serving as a reunion for old colleagues. The panel discussions were both informative and engaging, with wholehearted participation from the audience.
At a time when our Honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighted in his 'Mann Ki Baat' that India ranks seventh in patent filings and fifth globally in trademarks, and that the country has risen to 40th position in the Global Innovation Index—reflecting India’s growing scientific prowess—forums like WIPF, which encourage scientific discussions, inventions, and IP awareness, are truly the need of the hour.
WIPF was both a fun reunion and a valuable learning experience, and we look forward to many more editions in the future.
