Surviving the Chinese IP Maze

4 May 2010

Many companies investing in China are probably very aware that they will face IP risks entering the market. Some decide to deal with IP issues as and when they arise, not realising that a ‘wait and watch’ approach may mean that they are not able to take action quickly enough when the time comes. Others may decide to go all out to defend their IP assets and work through official channels but quickly realise that they face a complex array of inter-linking relationships and issues on the ground. Really, companies cannot be blamed for sometimes deciding it is easier to ignore “the problem”.
