IPR Workshop: How to Protect your Intellectual Property through China's Customs
The China IPR SME Helpdesk and the PRD chapter of the European Union Chamber of Commerce are pleased to invite you to an interactive seminar and workshop on “How to Protect Your Intellectual Property through China's Customs”, which will take place on Wednesday, 27 October in Shenzhen.
China's Customs regulations ban the import or export from or to China of goods that infringe intellectual property rights. China customs also have the authority to protect the intellectual property rights of European companies by confiscating infringing goods and imposing fines on infringers. This seminar will address how the Customs process works in practice and how you can work with China Customs to protect your intellectual property rights in China. Join China Customs experts who will provide practical, jargon-free advice and training using real-life cases.
This free seminar is open to European small and medium-sized businesses in China. The organisers reserve the right to refuse registration to organisations that do not fit the criteria for attendance. If your registration is accepted, you will receive a confirmation E-mail.
