Last week, our team visited our colleague’s orchard farm for a simple but meaningful outing.

It was a good opportunity for us to understand how an orchard is maintained, and to appreciate the amount of care, patience and effort behind the fruits we often enjoy. We also took the chance to learn more about Geographical Indication ("GI"), especially how Musang King durian is uniquely Malaysian and protected under GI registration.

What made the visit more memorable was the time spent together beyond work. From coconut bowling to fresh coconuts straight from the tree, mangosteens, durian picking and a good lunch, it was a simple day, but one that brought the team closer in a very natural way.

Sometimes, knowing each other beyond our work roles can go a very long way. It builds trust, understanding and a stronger bond within the team. Grateful for the experience, the hospitality and the memories created together. 🥰

Together, we innovate, care, and grow as one👍team.

Last month, the GVCO team visited Thailand for a short but meaningful trip.

It was a good opportunity to meet, reconnect and exchange views with our friends and partners in Thailand. More importantly, it was a reminder that good working relationships are built not only through work, but also through friendship, trust and mutual support.

Thank you to our Thailand friends for the warm hospitality. We look forward to more meaningful collaborations ahead.

Together, We Innovate for Impact!

Strengthening Cross-Border Collaboration & IP Synergies

We were delighted to welcome Mr. Hugo Muller, Director of Equasia Group (Equasia Law), and Mr. Iago Camilo, Senior Intellectual Property Consultant, to our office on 10 June 2026 for a fruitful discussion on regional business opportunities and intellectual property matters.

During the visit, both teams explored potential collaboration and synergies across a broad spectrum of areas, including:

✅ Intellectual Property Protection & Commercialisation
✅ ESG Developments
✅ Cross-Border Structuring
✅ Regulatory & Compliance Matters
✅ Regional Business Expansion Strategies

The discussion covered key jurisdictions across the Asian markets.

The visit featured a highly insightful discussion on the rapidly evolving business, compliance, legal and regulatory landscape across Asia and beyond. Through the sharing of extensive cross-border experience and industry perspectives, both teams exchanged valuable insights on intellectual property, international business expansion, compliance, ESG developments, and emerging opportunities in key regional markets.

As AI, digitalisation, and regulatory changes continue to reshape the way businesses grow and compete, collaboration and knowledge sharing are more important than ever. Through practical expertise, innovative solutions, and strategic partnerships, we help businesses navigate change, unlock opportunities, protect their intellectual property, and grow with confidence in a rapidly evolving world. Together, we innovate for impact.

We sincerely thank Mr. Hugo Muller and Mr. Iago Camilo for their visit and look forward to exploring future opportunities for collaboration.

This year’s ASEAN IPA 2026 theme, “Advancing Together: Legal Practice and IP Protection in the Age of AI”, reflects how artificial intelligence continues to reshape the intellectual property landscape.

We were honoured to gain practical insights from world-renowned IP experts, particularly on how legal frameworks are evolving to address the growing intersection between technology and intellectual property. The discussions were timely and relevant, especially in light of increasing regional and cross-border considerations in IP protection.

The GVCO IP team also had the pleasure of engaging with fellow practitioners from across the region, as well as catching up with valuable partners and friends. A special thank you to iLawAsia for your generous hospitality in Phuket. It was a meaningful exchange of perspectives on the latest developments in IP practice, and we look forward to continued collaboration within the IP community.
