The Congressional-Executive Commission on China will hold another in its series of staff-led Issues Roundtables, entitled "Intellectual Property Protection as Economic Policy: Will China Ever Enforce its IP Laws?"
This Roundtable will examine the current crisis resulting from the lack of IP enforcement in China. Looking beyond the simple question of how much piracy and counterfeiting occur, we hope to examine the policies that have created the current problems and assess whether they are likely to continue in the future. The witnesses will explain the scope of the problem, analyze its source, and assess which strategies will advance IP protection in China.
The panelists:
Daniel C.K. Chow, Robert J. Nordstrom Designated Professor of Law, Ohio State University Michael E. Mortiz College of Law.
Eric H. Smith, President, International Intellectual Property Alliance.
James M. Zimmerman, Partner and Chief Representative, Beijing office, Squire, Sanders & Dempsey LLP.
