[Members-only] Symposium: Intellectual Property Protection in China: Key Issues & Current Developments

 

Even though the environment for intellectual property protection has significantly improved over the last decades, intellectual property infringements and insufficient implementation of laws and regulations are still a concern for a significant number of foreign companies. Here, the German Embassy in Beijing, the German Chamber of Commerce, the SME Helpdesk, and German lawyers are offering a support network for you in China.

 

At this symposium, we will discuss the most recent developments as well as support options for IP-related cases. There will also be plenty of time for individual discussions and networking.

 

You are warmly invited by the German Embassy in Beijing and the German Chamber of Commerce in China to join the symposium. We are looking forward to seeing you there!
