President of APAA Korea Group & Chair of Organizing Committee

On behalf of the APAA Korea Group and the Organizing Committee, it is our pleasure and honor to welcome you to the 73rd Council Meeting of the Asian Patent Attorneys Association (APAA), to be held in the beautiful and dynamic city of Busan, South Korea.

As the maritime capital of Korea, Busan is the second largest city and the largest trade port in Korea. It has a wonderful combination of nature—with its beautiful beaches and lush mountains—and state-of-the-art facilities and world-class infrastructure, not to mention its long-standing history, local markets, and picturesque temples. The city’s Haeundae District, where BEXCO Convention Center is located, is home to upscale shops, restaurants, and hotels, as well as the scenic Haeundae Beach, the most popular beach in Korea.

Without a doubt, we’ve been facing unprecedented challenges during the last two years due to the COVID19 pandemic. Now, we long for the opportunity to meet other members once again in person and to develop professional relationships in a friendly, vibrant, and pleasant atmosphere which has been a long-standing tradition of the Asian Patent Attorneys Association Meetings. The 73rd Council Meeting of the APAA in Busan will be a pleasant, memorable and productive experience for participants in a rich natural, cultural and urban environment of the city.

We invite you to please join us at the 73rd Council Meeting of the APAA in Busan. The APAA Korea Group and the Organizing Committee will be ready to meet you all and share with you the amazing experience and friendship. We look forward to seeing you in October!
