Principal and Managing Director of KASS International, Mr. P. Kandiah, was recently invited to be a speaker at the ‘WIPO National Seminar on Intellectual Property (IP) with Focus on Uses of IP in Business and Industry’ and the ‘WIPO National Seminar on Industrial Designs’ in Thimphu, Bhutan from 5-7 May, 2009.
Mr. P. Kandiah, being the sole representative of the South East Asian region at the seminar, was given the privilege to present amongst noted speakers, namely Dr. Françoise Simon-Vianès and Mr. Anil Sinha, both of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).
