A program on developments in intellectual property (IP) law in China over the past three months. This is the second of a planned series of quarterly updates from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) on the latest IP developments in China.
Since July 1, 2021, China has passed and implemented a variety of IP-related measures. This one-hour program will provide an opportunity for IP attorneys, businesses, inventors, and other IP stakeholders to access a unique and concise source of information. The program included segments on:
- patents
- trademarks
- copyrights
- trade secrets
- IP enforcement
These topic-specific segments were led by senior USPTO attorneys with extensive China IP experience. During the program, participants submitted their questions to a dedicated email box. There will be time allotted to respond to participants' questions.
