As a key factor in the competitiveness of your business in the global economy, Intellecutal Property Rights are particularly relevant for Belgian SMEs as they internationalise their activities to China. Whether your business is already operating in China or you are exploring the potential offered by the region, it is important to be aware of how IPR can be valuable to your business.
Therefore, I am pleased to invite you to a seminar on the protection of Intellectual Property Rights in China, on October 27, 2016, organised with the support of the China IPR SME HelpDesk. The Helpdesk Expert, Mr. Patrice Vidon, will share his experience on IP and give a presentation on the subjects of “How to develop a robust online selling strategy” and “Playing fair: ensuring your IP is protected at trade fairs”. Founding and Managing Partner of Vidon IP Law Group (Europe – Asia), Patrice Vidon is a European and French Patent and Trademark Attorney having gained a rich practice of Intellectual Property protection, licensing, management and enforcement in the P. R. of China.
