AGIP Attends 2025 LES China Annual Conference

XI’AN - Nearly 300 intellectual property experts gathered in Xi'an to discuss innovation-driven development strategies. Ms. Wei Shang, Director of Abu-Ghazala Intellectual Property (AGIP) for Greater China, attended the conference to participate in high-level exchanges and strengthen cross-border IP cooperation.

In late September, the 2025 Annual Conference of the LES China Society was held in Xi'an. Under the theme "Intelligent Connectivity along the Silk Road, Innovation Leading the Future," the conference brought together nearly 300 experts, scholars, corporate representatives, and legal service providers from the field of intellectual property.
Ms. Wei Shang participated in this grand event and engaged in in-depth communication with global IP professionals.

During the conference, experts from companies such as Huawei, ZTE, and Nokia held deep dialogues on hot topics including Standard Essential Patent (SEP) licensing, the application of FRAND principles, and the determination of licensing rates. Ms. Shang also shared AGIP's professional insights into the cross-border protection and commercialization of intellectual property.

A significant outcome of this year's conference was China's successful bid to host the 2028 LES International (LESI) Conference, which will take place in Shenzhen. This decision will further promote China's role in the global IP governance system.

The participation of Ms. Wei Shang and AGIP reflects the positive trend of global exchange and cooperation in the intellectual property field, signaling China's increasingly important role in the global IP ecosystem.
