The Global IP Magazine - AIPPI Special Edition (Issue 26) Audio Version Now Available We are pleased to present the audio version of the AIPPI Special Edition of The Global IP Magazine - Issue 26, released alongside the AIPPI World Congress 2026 in Hamburg, Germany. This edition brings together timely perspectives on the legal, commercial, and technological developments continuing to shape the global intellectual property landscape. The edition opens with Javiera Montero of Johansson & Langlois, Chile, who examines trademark cancellation actions introduced under Chile’s Law No. 21.355. Her contribution explores the increasing importance of genuine and effective use in maintaining trademark protection and the practical implications for rights holders. From Peru, Adriana Barrera of BARLAW - Barrera & Asociados explores the continued growth of patent protection and new technologies, highlighting increased patent activity, university-led innovation, and the frameworks supporting patents, utility models, and industrial designs. Bringing a perspective from Sri Lanka, Anomi Wanigasekera and Sabeera Shariff of Julius & Creasy examine the protection of undisclosed information and trade secrets under Sri Lanka’s Intellectual Property Act. Their contribution also considers a recent Supreme Court judgment concerning industrial espionage and the misuse of confidential information. This issue also marks an important milestone for Northon’s Media PR & Marketing Ltd as we prepare for the January 2027 launch of The Women’s IP Alliance. Building on the global community established through The Women’s IP World Annual, the Alliance will connect women across IP, innovation, technology, academia, research, and entrepreneurship through networking, mentorship, professional development, leadership opportunities, specialist resources, and collaboration. Members will also receive access to Sally IP, supporting advanced IP research, drafting, and specialist professional workflows.
