Insights

January 12, 2021
Doing business in the emerging markets of Southeast Asia can often be frustrated by seemingly loose protections afforded to intellectual property (IP) rights, and the proliferation of counterfeit goods. In response to this, the governments of Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar have taken great steps in recent years to protect these valuable commercial assets, strengthen IP laws, and build robust legal regimes for the registration, protection, and enforcement of IP rights. Although these legal frameworks are still developing, the current measures available are sufficient for many savvy companies to register and protect their IP rights and prevent the spread of harmful counterfeit products. To help companies navigate these measures, Tilleke & Gibbins’ IP team, in collaboration with the Australian Chambers of Commerce in Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar, will be hosting a webinar entitled, “Intellectual Property in Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar” on Tuesday, February 02, starting at 10:00 a.m. (ICT) / 9:30 a.m. (MMT). This webinar will form part of a broader Legal Webinar Series on key legal topics for businesses that will take place throughout 2021. Chandavya Ing andDavid Mol, Advisors in Tilleke & Gibbins’ Cambodia office; Dino Santaniello, Head of Tilleke & Gibbins’ Laos Office; and Yuwadee Thean–ngarm, Director of Tilleke & Gibbins’ Myanmar office, will present an overview of the IP laws of Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar, identify the measures available to companies seeking to protect their trademarks and other IP assets, and discuss some real-world case studies of successful IP enforcement in the region. The session will also include a Q&A session, where attendees will be able to put their questions to Tilleke & Gibbins’ IP teams in Phnom Penh, Vientiane, and Yangon.

Awards & Rankings

July 20, 2021
Following the recent publication of Intellectual Asset Management (IAM) magazine’s IAM Patent 1000 2021, Tilleke & Gibbins is proud to announce that the firm’s patent teams in Cambodia and Indonesia have both earned top-tier rankings in this year’s publication. Notably, this announcement marks the firm’s fourth consecutive top-tier distinction in Indonesia and the firm’s first in Cambodia—as this is the first year IAM Patent 1000 has covered the emerging jurisdiction. In the editorials that accompany the firm’s rankings in Cambodia and Indonesia, IAM refers to Tilleke & Gibbins as “an internationally renowned IP practice,” a “one-stop shop for regional IP services,” and a firm that “is ready to tackle any and every invention.” Beyond the firm-wide distinctions, individual practitioners from Tilleke & Gibbins also received praise and acknowledgement for their patent expertise. Sokmean Chea of the firm’s Phnom Penh practice, and vice president of the Cambodia chapter of the Asian Patent Attorneys’ Association, was one of just five patent experts listed in Cambodia. And Wongrat Ratanaprayul, director of the firm’s Jakarta office, was recognized as one of only a handful of leading patent practitioners in Indonesia. The annual IAM Patent 1000 rankings are based on several months of in-depth research and market analysis conducted by IAM researchers. In the 2021 rankings, the publication also awarded top marks to Tilleke & Gibbins’ offices in Thailand and Vietnam.

A record 18 Tilleke & Gibbins professionals are ranked in the 2021 edition. The WTR 1000 2021 rankings are based on in-depth qualitative research to identify key firms and individuals who are leading the way in trademark-related legal practice.
