Q167, 168 and 169 were all Questions on which AIPPI Singapore had submitted a paper on to AIPPI International and these were the subject of debate and resolutions to be taken at the ExCo Meeting in June in Lisbon.
Attendance was at an average of about 15 people, peaking at about 30 people during the Roundtable on 6 May 2002 when the Review of the Singapore Patent System was also being discussed.
The feedback from these Roundtables has been positive, as the discussion is usually very lively and interesting and broad-based viewpoints were obtained.
