China IP SME Helpdesk
The China IPR SME Helpdesk supports European Union (EU) small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) to both protect, manage and enforce their Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) in or relating to Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan through the provision of free information and services. These take the form of jargon-free, first-line, confidential advice on intellectual property and related issues, plus training, materials and online resources. Addition information is available from the Helpdesk online portal at: www.china-iprhelpdesk.eu
The project was launched in 2008 and is implemented by the European Chamber, DEVELOPMENT Solutions and the European Business Network.
