LES Korea and LESI YMC are thrilled to welcome you to Seoul, a vibrant metropolis where skyscrapers meet street markets.

We convene at a transformative moment in global commerce. As rapid technological advancements reshape how intellectual property is created, protected, and monetized, Asian economies have taken center stage in driving the next wave of global innovation. Navigating this evolving landscape demands fresh perspectives, cross-border collaboration, and modern licensing frameworks.

South Korea provides the ideal backdrop for these discussions. A global powerhouse in semiconductors, electric vehicles, and medical technology, it participates directly in standard-essential patent negotiations and advanced cross-licensing. At the same time, its creative and cultural industries have spread across the world, pioneering new models for copyright protection, brand licensing, and digital rights management.

Join us for a day of incisive panel discussions, strategic insights, and knowledge sharing. Afterwards, unwind at our YMC social to experience Korean culture and cuisine, network with global peers, and enjoy the city’s warm hospitality. We look forward to seeing you in Seoul!
