The Ambassador's IPR Roundtable, Beijing, China. Ambassador Clark Randt’s seventh and final annual IPR Roundtable will be held in Beijing on Thursday and Friday, November 6 and 7.
This year’s focus will be on new Chinese IPR legislation, resulting strategies, and the implications for U.S. businesses. In June, China announced its National IPR Strategy. On August 1, China's new Anti-Monopoly Law took effect. Revisions of China’s patent, trademark, and copyright laws are all underway. The Sino-U.S. Joint Commission on Commerce and Trade (JCCT) IPR Working Group is re-convening.
The Ambassador's IPR Roundtable will provide a forum to examine these and other issues. Registration information and agenda to follow.
