The 3^rd Annual China Intellectual Property Summit in Beijing 第三届中国 知识产权峰会

Chinese government has been doing a lot of work to raise people’s awareness about intellectual property protection and enforcement since it from before it joined the WTO. Domestic and international companies in China have become more knowledgeable about their IP rights, and have been more proactive with having their brands and inventions registered.

2008 will be a stimulating yet challenging year for China IP practitioners. The National Intellectual Property Strategy has been released this June and the proposed third amendment to the Patent Law is expected to be finalized at the end of this year. China’s New Anti-Monopoly Law (AML) will take effect starting from this August impacting industries across the board. The fast development of Digital Media and Information Systems has raised a new field for IP experts to explore. And turning IP asset from a defensive weapon into a value extractor is becoming an imperative for organizations who want to remain competitive.

On the basis of our last two summits, the 3rd Annual China Intellectual Property Summit aims to offer an excellent opportunity for attendees to learn and discuss the most recent and vital changes facing the industry today. Our event has a proven track record of bringing together experienced leading IP practitioners with backgrounds in government, corporate and legal, who will share their expertise and contribute to lively panel discussions through their own experiences and invaluable knowledge.

You cannot afford to miss this essential briefing on the state of legislative and practical changes in the rules of IP practice. Don’t just read about it, come and hear DIRECTLY from the legislators and experts.
