Intellectual Property (IP) constitutes an important business asset for SMEs as it provides you with comparative advantage over competitors and protects your innovations. A comprehensive IP Strategy is crucial for business success when planning to enter China’s market or setting up your business in China as neglecting your IP could even result in the end of your business endeavor. Thus, it is important to have fundamental knowledge about IP, and a solid understanding of how to exploit it as your business asset.
