About

I’m Apapan Milde, a Senior Patent Attorney and attorney-at-law with over 14 years of experience helping clients protect innovations through strategic IP portfolios. I manage patent prosecution, conduct searches for patentability and freedom-to-operate analyses, draft robust claims, and advise on filing requirements and portfolio strategy across the ASEAN region. I also publish a monthly IP News editorial to share insights with clients and partners and collaborate with organizations like JETRO to advance IP understanding in the region.

In Bangkok, I lead a dynamic team at S&I International Bangkok and I’m planning a relocation to Basel, Switzerland in 2026. I hold a Family Reunification visa that allows immediate employment, and I enjoy working with cross-functional teams to translate complex technology into strong IP protection while supporting long-term business growth.
