While China’s economy is undergoing a transformation into an economy based on qualitative growth generating products and services with a high added value, Chinese companies are taking the lead in innovating and protecting their innovation. In recent years, China has delivered significant efforts to streamline its IPR legislation with international norms and standards. And still, many European companies consider the protection of their IP as one of the main concerns when doing business in China. As the new technologies underpinning the digital revolution are shaping China’s future economy, the importance of developing and implementing an IP-strategy as a cornerstone of your export strategy is one of the keys to success. Helping companies how to achieve this IP-strategy, is the goal of this seminar.
