ANNOUNCEMENT: IPR Conference in Guangzhou
[Editor's Note: Over the past year, Chinese government offices have shown greater willingness to appear at panels within the P.R.C. that are hosted by foreign governments. A similar IP panel was convened with AmCham Shanghai in the fall of 2004, and although the presentation material from the Chinese side did not lead to the revelation of much useful information not already publicly available, the question and answer session and mixer allowed for a back and forth (and the trading of name cards) rarely available. The inclusion of the Shenzhen IPO, Customs and Court system representatives in this upcoming conference may prove interesting.]
