For a company holding patents overseas, the harder question often comes after registration: can the rights be enforced locally, how will a buyer or investor assess their value, and who will pay for a licence?
Near & Wise IP Law Office, in cooperation with Korea Venture Investment Corporation (KVIC), is hosting “Monetising IP Abroad: From Rights to Cash Flow.” Four practitioners bring perspectives from Europe, ASEAN, Latin America and the United States.

Language note. The international speakers will present in English. Slides with both English and Korean text will be displayed on screen during the presentations.
Four markets, four practical questions
Marko Brumnik
Partner at Sonnenberg Harrison, Germany, and former LESI YMC Chair. How can European IP be secured so that it can be enforced and valued?
Anna Toh
Attorney-at-Law at Rajah & Tann, Singapore; LESI YMC Vice Chair and LES Singapore Secretary. How do IP portfolios connect to licensing and funding across ASEAN?
Roberto Carapeto
Licks Attorneys, Brazil, and former LESI YMC Chair. How does enforcement in Brazil and Latin America influence global licensing and standard-essential patent revenue?
Noor Al-Banna
Director at Ocean Tomo, part of J.S. Held, and LESI YMC Vice Chair. How does the US market price IP, and who actually pays?
A conversation for investment and business decisions
Securing a right is only one step in building a commercial path abroad. Investors and business leaders also need to understand enforceability, value and the reasons a counterparty would pay. Seungyeob Baik, founding partner of Near & Wise IP, LESI YMC Board member and former technology valuation officer at Shinhan Bank, will chair the discussion.
