AIPPI 125周年庆典 AIPPI 125th Anniversary Celebration

为了庆祝其125周年，国际保护知识产权协会比利时分会&国际保护知识产权协会于5月13日组织了一个为期一天的活动，将混合会议和庆祝晚会相结合，就在布鲁塞尔市中心的著名地点，广场和vaudeville剧院。

庆祝日的主题是知识产权和公共福利，特别关注的是健康和环境问题。

我们的合伙人Reinout van Malenstein代表HFG出席了该活动。

上午的活动是有关知识产权的介绍性课程，也旨在让非知识产权专家熟悉重要的知识产权概念。

下午的活动包括两次全体会议，讨论“关于知识产权和公共福利的对话”，特别关注的是健康和环境问题。

这是一个阐述“知识产权视角”的好时机，解释知识产权如何平衡私人利益和公共卫生或环境需求。两位发言人和其他该领域的专业人士组成小组进行了辩论，强调了从这个角度对知识产权提出的问题、反对意见和改进建议。

To celebrate its 125th anniversary, AIPPI Belgium & AIPPI International organized a one-day event combining a hybrid conference and a celebration evening in prestigious locations in the heart of Brussels, the SQUARE and the VAUDEVILLE.

The theme of the celebratory day was IP and Common Welfare with a special focus on Health and Environment.

Our partner Reinout van Malenstein was there, representing HFG.

The morning event, devoted to introductory sessions about Intellectual Property, was intended also for non-IP specialists to be familiarized with key IP concepts. 

The afternoon event consisted of two plenary sessions devoted to “Dialogues about IP and Common Welfare”, and in particular about Health and Environment. 

It has been a good moment for setting out the “IP perspective”, explaining how IP is meant to balance private interests and public health or environment needs. The following debate among a panel formed by the two speakers and other knowledgeable people in the fields, has underlined the questions, objections, suggestions for improvements, regarding IP in this perspective.
