During the session, Yuwadee will explain the process for brand owners to obtain protection for their intellectual property rights in Myanmar, provide an overview of anti-counterfeiting measures available to brand owners, and highlight the importance of brand protection in the jurisdiction by sharing real-life case studies of successful enforcement actions in the country.
