As China continues to be an exceedingly important player in the world’s economy, the need for knowledge about protection of intellectual property (IP) abounds. This first of three sessions chronicles real-world trademark issues faced by in-house counsel along with best practices and practical advice shared by experts in this practice field and some direct advice straight from China’s Top Court.
This program will discuss the basics of China Trademark Law and will compare and contrast these principles with those of the Western system. We will also discuss a few buzz words that people use when discussing IP issues in Asia such as: a “well-known” trademark, “defensive filing strategies” and “subclass” systems. The program will then outline the key practical impacts to businesses when they operate in China and how the business strategies need to be modified accordingly — when in China, do as the Chinese do.
