SILICON VALLEY LAW SOCIETY EVENT - PROTECTING IP IN CHINA
Wednesday, August 15, 2007, 5:30 - 8:00 p.m., Crocker Garden, Stanford Law School
The protection of IP has become one of the most prominent issues for U.S. companies doing business in China. China is quickly growing into an industrialized nation in which companies need to use, and therefore must protect, their most valuable assets — IP created by R&D and manufacturing labs. With more than 1,000 R&D labs operated by multinational corporations, China has become the world's second largest spender on R&D, and has replaced Germany as the world's fifth largest source of patent application filings. Unfortunately, many U.S. companies still find themselves lost in the unfamiliar Chinese IP system.
If you are interested in attending, please e-mail alumni.relations@law.stanford.edu or call 650 723.2730 by Wednesday, August 8, 2007.
