With international growth comes opportunity, new legal issues, and increased business risks. Companies considering expansion into China must be prepared to protect their unique technologies and services.
Topics for this seminar included a discussion of Chinese intellectual property law and practical steps foreign businesses can take to minimize the risks of doing business in China. The panel addressed:
- 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
This was an interactive panel session led by Thomas I. Elkind of Foley’s Litigation Department, Xueqing Linda Ji of Foley’s Business Law Department and Bethew B. Jennings III of Halliburton.
“Safeguarding Your Intellectual Property While Doing Business in China” is part of Foley’s 2007 Boston Executive Briefings Series.
