IP Protection in China when running R&D activities

Developing an Intellectual property (IP) strategy is a critical consideration for European SMEs expanding in China, which also applies to research and development (R&D) activities. As outcome of R&D, new intellectual property is being created so a company’s IPRs need to be clearly defined. European SMEs may run into problems navigating the ins and outs of ownership of IP. Mr Jari E. Vepsäläinen, IP expert of the China IP SME Helpdesk, will provide an online training on best practices to avoid disputes over IP during joint R&D activities.
The event is organized by the China IP SME Helpdesk, the Flanders-China Chamber of Commerce (FCCC) and the  EU-China Business Association.
