How to Protect Your IP in and from China: A Talk in Barcelona, Tomorrow
Tomorrow (Friday), I will be speaking in one of my favorite cities on one of my favorite topics: How to protect your IP in and from China. Though I plan to focus on protecting intellectual property related to hardware and Internet of Things Products (IoT), my talk will apply to pretty much any product or service. If you are interested in attending, please go here to register. There is no charge!
My talk is a Hardware Massive- Barcelona Event and Hardware Massive describes it as follows:
Talk Description: Whether producing goods in China or selling to the Chinese market, foreign companies that engage in business with China need to know how to protect their technology and other intellectual property from being counterfeited, pirated, or otherwise misappropriated. There are substantial risks companies must identify and address to protect their valuable IP assets. Deals made in China can threaten IP rights not just in China, but in markets around the world. Understanding the Chinese IP landscape and how to manage the pertinent issues can go a long way to safeguarding your valuable IP interests.
A recent Quartz Magazine story stated that the best way to deal with China IP theft is basically to enjoy it because there is little you can do about it. Chinese companies will do everything they can to relieve you of your IP, and our speaker does not dispute that. But instead of just allowing your IP to be taken, Dan vehemently contends that your taking just a few rather basic legal steps can protect your IP. It doesn’t make sense for you to go through all the trouble to create and develop your product just to give it away. In his talk, Dan will discuss ways to protect your IP in and from China. He will provide methods that are doable and that actually work, even for startups having their products made in China.
The event agenda is as follows:
17:45-18:00: Registration & Networking
18:00-18:10: Opening Remarks by Ignasi Pascual
18:10-19:00: Dan Harris: “How to Protect your IP from China” w/ Q&A’s
19:00-20:00: Drinks w/ Networking and 1-on-1 questions
For more information and to sign up, please go here.
I hope to see you there!
We will be discussing the practical aspects of Chinese law and how it impacts business there. We will be telling you what works and what does not and what you as a businessperson can do to use the law to your advantage. Our aim is to assist businesses already in China or planning to go into China, not to break new ground in legal theory or policy.
