A common question related to IP protection and enforcement in China is: Is it worth it? However, the answer is not that simple and many US companies get it wrong. There is much more value in Chinese IP protection than most US companies realize. This session will attempt to provide clarity and a common sense approach to IP in China, and take an in-depth look at the tools available to help US companies "win" the IP battle in China. In addition, we will look at significant IP cases across China over the past two years and examine consistent trends. Panelists will describe some of their own experiences in seeking to protect and enforce their organizations’ IP rights in China generally and identify how the system in China is — or is not — developing to recognize and enforce the rights of IP owners.
