A significant portion of the firm’s work has a cross-border dimension, particularly in relation to other ASEAN countries.” Dual goals in ASL’s intellectual property services
We understand that it is necessary to come up with a business model that ensures the position/reputation of IP Firms and at the same time still aims at the very important goal of clients: quality must be improved and costs must be optimized.
Clients should focus on creativity, let ASL take care of optimal IP protection.

So ASL’s goal is that the clients just makes a request, ASL will be able to immediately deploy intellectual property services in many different countries. Currently, the number of countries that ASL can support Clients is up to more than 72 countries.
