In today’s global business markets, where ideas and information can be transmitted across the world in mere seconds, it is more critical than ever for companies to develop proactive strategies — even before their IP is licensed — to prevent copyists and low-price competition from undercutting their innovation.
Foley’s recent Global Marketplace — Eye on China: Roundtable Series program explored how companies can create and implement effective strategies for protecting themselves against IP infringement when doing business in China.
Roundtable panelists focused on the critical components of a comprehensive China IP strategy and addressed how the recently implemented Third Amendment to China’s patent law will impact how you enforce IP rights and litigate in China. Specific topics included:
- Developing an effective IP strategy to prevent infringement in China
- Strategies for protecting IP assets in China through enforcement
- Effectively licensing technology in China
- New trends in IP protection: An overview of the Chinese government’s financial support for IP protection in China
- The impact of the Third Amendment on China’s IP landscape, and what it means for U.S. companies doing business in China
