- Investing in China: Choice of investment and business vehicles
- Chinese patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret law
- Protecting IP assets before and after entering the Chinese marketplace
- Establishing best practices for developing and licensing your IP assets in China
- Tips and strategies for success
