On 2 May 2012, European ASEAN Business Centre (EABC) paid a Courtesy visit to the Director-General of the Department of Intellectual Property (DIP). This event also provided for a high-level technical discussion on key IPR policy and regulatory development, especially a follow-up from the 2nd Annual Meeting of the EU-Thailand IPR Dialogue on 24 February 2012 in Brussels.
Topics under discussion included legislative amendments in respect of trademark, patent and customs, IP commercialisation, strengthening enforcement efforts and accession of Thailand to key International IP agreements. Both sides agreed upon fostering of closed cooperation and welcomed active partnership building towards IPR development for the benefits of both Thailand and European businesses.
