EuroCham Myanmar will host a webinar on, “Key Updates on Intellectual Property and Illicit Trade in Myanmar (2026),” organised in collaboration with the South-East Asia IP SME Helpdesk, an initiative of the European Commission.

As Myanmar’s intellectual property (IP) system moves into its operational phase, European businesses continue to face challenges in protecting their brands, designs and technology. At the same time, import restrictions and delays have contributed to growing concerns over smuggled and counterfeit goods in the market.

Taking place in 16^th December 2026, this one-hour webinar will provide an update on Myanmar’s illicit trade landscape and the latest developments in its IP system. The session will explore recent registration trends, changes to patent and geographical indication procedures, available enforcement mechanisms, and practical steps European businesses can take to protect their intellectual property and mitigate risks when operating in Myanmar.
