KENFOX Attends the INTA Annual Meeting 2026 in London: Expanding Perspectives, Strengthening Global Connections, and Enhancing Professional Capacity

From 2 to 6 May 2026, a three-member delegation from KENFOX IP & Law Office attended the INTA Annual Meeting 2026 in London – one of the world’s largest and most influential events in the field of intellectual property (IP), bringing together thousands of lawyers, professionals, corporations, and IP organizations from numerous jurisdictions.

This year’s event in London provided not only a valuable opportunity for KENFOX to meet with international partners, but also an important forum for updating legal trends, enforcement practices, and emerging challenges in the global IP landscape.

In-Depth Discussions on Key IP Issues

During the conference, the KENFOX delegation held a number of meetings and professional exchanges with representatives, lawyers, and IP practitioners from China, India, Singapore, Australia, Germany, the United States, and the United Kingdom.

The discussions focused on various IP issues currently attracting significant attention from the international community, including:

• The impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on traditional IP systems;
• The growing trend of bad-faith trademark filings and the mechanisms adopted in different jurisdictions to address them;
• Conflicts between trademark rights and copyright in enforcement practice;
• Strategies for combating IP infringement in the digital environment and on e-commerce platforms; and
• Developments in IP examination and enforcement practices across different jurisdictions.

Through these exchanges, KENFOX gained access to diverse practical perspectives and enforcement experience from various legal systems. This is particularly important in the current environment, where IP disputes are increasingly cross-border in nature and more complex in substance.

Connecting with Global Law Firms and IP Partners

In addition to bilateral meetings, the KENFOX delegation visited and exchanged views with numerous booths hosted by law firms, organizations, and IP service providers from around the world.

These activities enabled KENFOX to:

• Gain deeper insight into IP legal systems and enforcement practices in different jurisdictions;
• Assess the professional capacity and practical experience of international partners in specific areas of expertise;
• Expand its cooperation network to better support clients in international matters; and
• Update its understanding of emerging trends in the management, protection, and commercialization of intellectual property assets worldwide.

As business activities become increasingly internationalized, building and maintaining a strong network of global partners is essential to delivering effective, coordinated, and strategically sound IP solutions for clients.

Bringing International Value Back to Southeast Asia

For KENFOX, participation in INTA is not merely an international networking activity. It is also an opportunity to bring advanced knowledge, practical experience, and global best practices back to support KENFOX’s professional work in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, and other Southeast Asian jurisdictions.

The perspectives gained from the conference will further assist the KENFOX team in:

• Enhancing its capacity to handle complex IP matters;
• Responding more effectively to cross-border disputes;
• Developing IP protection strategies aligned with international trends; and
• Helping clients take a more proactive approach to emerging legal risks in the digital and AI era.

Continuing Commitment to Learning and Professional Development

The INTA Annual Meeting 2026 has concluded, but the knowledge, connections, and experience gained from the event will continue to support KENFOX in its ongoing efforts to enhance service quality and strengthen its professional capacity.

KENFOX believes that, in the field of intellectual property — where law, technology, and global commerce are constantly evolving — a sustained commitment to learning, international engagement, and practical updates is essential to delivering meaningful value to clients.
