Are you a European SME and currently internationalizing your business to China? If you have limited time and resources, it is important to know that intellectual property can be a key factor in the competitiveness of your business in the global economy. The Chinese government has recently adopted a number of changes to their patent, intellectual property and trademark laws.
Which legislative changes, and what are the implications for your business? How can intellectual property assets help you with your cash flows and be a valuable asset to your business?
To provide a clear answer to these pertinent questions, the BCECC and the China IP SME Helpdesk will be organizing their joint webinar “Legislative changes to China’s IP laws: Implications for SME’s” on October 28, 2021 at 10:00 CET (16:00 CST). Don’t hesitate to take this unique opportunity to ask all of your IP-related questions to an IP expert!
