Cross-Border Technology Transfer to China: Traps, Pitfalls, and Critical Issues
Yet despite recent improvements to China’s IP and technology transfer safeguards, companies doing business in China or with Chinese companies must exercise caution. Technology transactions can be risky and inefficient, and IP protection, enforcement, taxation, currency conversion, and repatriation also can present considerable challenges.
