IP Committee Celebrates 2025 Year-End Dinner at Muna with Secret Snowflake Gift Exchange

On December 22, 2025, members of AABANY’s Intellectual Property (IP) Committee gathered for a festive close to 2025 at Muna restaurant.

The evening kicked off with a warm welcome as attendees enjoyed a relaxed sit-down dinner where old friends and new faces got to meet and mingle. This gathering has become a favorite way for IP practitioners within the AABANY community to reflect on the year’s accomplishments, share highlights from 2025, and look ahead to what’s to come in 2026.

Adding to the festive spirit, the Optional Secret Snowflake—a light-hearted holiday gift exchange—brought laughs and surprises. Participants drew numbers and exchanged small tokens of appreciation, making the evening feel even more personal and connected.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us for this special evening. We look forward to many more meals, meaningful conversations, and moments of connection in 2026.

IP Committee Hosts Dinner at Dumpling Xi

On September 22, 2025, the AABANY Intellectual Property Committee gathered at Dumpling Xi for its monthly dinner filled with laughter, conversation, and delicious dumplings.

The attendees enjoyed authentic, hand-crafted dumplings, which many described as “comfort food that feels like home.” Each bite transported us back to family kitchens and hometown flavors, sparking nostalgia and connection.

Equally special was the community that came together. The dinner was a true reunion, with old friends reconnecting over shared plates and fond memories, while also warmly welcoming new faces into the group.

Attendees also shared war stories on the cases they have worked on, while exchanging practical tips and strategies with one another. These discussions highlighted the spirit of collaboration and mentorship that defines the IP Committee.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us for this special evening. We look forward to many more meals, meaningful conversations, and moments of connection ahead.
