On October 22, the four-day 2024 AIPPI World Congress concluded in Hangzhou, during which the "2024 AIPPI Hangzhou Resolutions" were passed by the Congress Executive Committee, marking a significant milestone in global IP policy making. The resolutions are expected to serve as a vital reference for international organizations and national governments in developing intellectual property laws and policies.

Gathering over 2,300 IP professionals from 92 countries and regions, the Congress featured around 100 sessions centered on the theme of "Balanced protection and innovative development of intellectual property." These discussions helped foster international consensus on collaboration and spurred enthusiasm for innovation.

The "2024 AIPPI Hangzhou Resolutions," a major outcome of the Congress, focus on four key study areas: "harmonization of disclosure requirements and consequences of non-compliance," "conflicts between composite trade marks including non-distinctive elements," "defense of parody in copyright," and "unjustified  allegations of infringement of Intellectual property rights." These topics span patents, trademarks, copyright, and rights enforcement.

The resolutions are scheduled for formal release approximately two weeks post-conference and will be submitted to the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), World Trade Organization (WTO), and legislative, administrative, and judicial bodies in leading jurisdictions worldwide, establishing a foundational resource for shaping future IP policies.
