Pacific Business Briefing: IP Protection Trends in China and the United States

Global markets present growth opportunities, and managing their IP strategically when entering the international stage helps companies maximize those opportunities. Intellectual property (IP) law varies by country, so it is incumbent on innovative companies to appreciate how IP rights are secured and enforced at home and abroad and how one can maximize one’s business opportunities by deploying thoughtful global IP strategies.

Please join the Bay Area Council and Finnegan, an international IP firm, for a briefing on what U.S. companies should know when entering China’s marketplace. Topics to be discussed include:

• Overview of the Last Ten Years of IP Protection in China and the United States
• Are Things Changing in China and How?
• Protecting Your Innovations Requires More Than One Tool‒Using Patents, Trademarks, Trade Secrets, and Copyrights in Parallel
• What We Learned: A Case Study

The speakers will offer insight on navigating through recent changes and developments in IP and provide strategies on responding to the latest developments.
