From August 19-23, 2024, ILEA Bangkok and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) co-hosted the Intellectual Property Rights Course: Session 9, which brought together 32 participants from Cambodia, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, the Philippines, and Thailand. The course equipped attendees with up-to-date methodologies for protecting and regulating intellectual property rights (IPR).
