How to Protect your Business in China
Join the Greater Cincinnati Chinese Chamber of Commerce on Friday, June 23rd for a Luncheon Seminar featuring international law expert Dan Harris, followed by a Town Hall discussion moderated by successful international entrepreneur Jeff Holtmeier.
American companies often cannot afford not to do business with China. Whether having their manufacturing done in China or selling their products or services to the Chinese market, companies involved with China need up-to-date legal advice on how to prevent their technology and other intellectual property from being counterfeited, pirated, or otherwise misappropriated. Transactions done in or with China can devalue your IP not just in China, but in markets around the world. Understanding how to manage IP issues in China can go a long way towards safeguarding your IP.
Dan Harris is internationally regarded as a leading authority on legal matters related to doing business in China, and has been sought out for his perspective on international law issues by Forbes Magazine, Business Week, Fortune Magazine, BBC News, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, The Economist, CNBC, and The New York Times. Please join us in welcoming Dan Harris on June 23rd as he explains how to use the following to protect your business in China:
-
Choosing a good Chinese partner
-
Identifying your IP assets that need protection
-
Structuring your China deal
-
Drafting your China contracts to protect your IP
-
Registering trademarks, patents, copyrights, and licensing agreements in China
