AABANY’s IP Committee Connected at May Dinner at Blue Blossom NYC

On Friday, May 22, 2026, the AABANY Intellectual Property Committee hosted its highly anticipated May Dinner at Blue Blossom NYC in Midtown Manhattan. Generously supported by Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton LLP, the casual gathering served as a committee bonding highlight during AAPI Heritage Month. The event brought together a dynamic group of 17 legal professionals, innovators, and students to network, share insights, and celebrate the local IP legal community.

Co-Chairs Jeffrey Mok, Gregory Pan, and Ada Wang led the evening, which featured a welcoming atmosphere at the 108 W. 39th Street venue. Attendees included representatives from the sponsoring firm, such as Wendy Cheng, as well as several late registrants who joined the group for an evening of engaging discussion. The sponsorship from Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton LLP helped facilitate the event, resulting in a casual and enjoyable evening for all.

If you’re interested in future dinners, keep an eye on the AABANY calendar for upcoming events. To learn more about the IP Committee and their initiatives, visit their subpage on the AABANY website.

AABANY Book Club Explores “Juvenilia” by Ken Chen

On June 16, 2026, AABANY’s Book Club had a fun and creative discussion at Schwartz Sladkus Reich Greenberg Atlas on the collection of poetry, Juvenilia, by Ken Chen, selected by book club member Hannah Lee.

Dissecting syntax and diction, ruminating on intention and imagery, book club members stretched their minds and imaginations to find meaning and understanding in this creative work. Themes of immigrant families, heartbreak, and the passage of time were explored.
