On June 5-7, the Intellectual Property Business Congress 2016 (IPBC Global 2016) was successfully held in Barcelona, Spain. Hundreds of senior IP managers from cooperates, academy, government and firms gathered and discussed key issue and challenges encountered in the course of creation and management of IP assets.

Dr. Lulin Gao, Chairman of Beijing East IP was invited to this conference and was inducted into the IP Hall of Fame in the ceremony held on June 7. The other two inductees in 2016 are Ms Margot Fröhlinger, principal director of patent law and multilateral affairs at the European Patent Office, as well as Mr James Pooley, former Deputy Director General of the World Intellectual Property Organization.

The IP Hall of Fame was developed by IAM since 2006 to honour who have made an outstanding contribution to the development of today’s IP system and its role as an enhancer of lives across the world. Inductees are chosen each year by the IP Hall of Fame Academy from nominations sent in by members of the global IP community. So far, there are in total 70 inductees who made great contribution to the global IP field listed in the IP Hall of Fame.
