Event Description

The China IPR SME Helpdesk and European Union Chamber of Commerce are pleased to invite you to the workshop “Using China Customs to protect your IPR”. China is one of the few countries that examine exported goods as well as imported goods, and can thus help you to protect your Intellectual Property. China customs has the authority to confiscate infringing goods, impose fines on infringers and arrange for criminal proceedings on behalf of foreign companies.

During this workshop, the following issues will be addressed:
• How to register your Intellectual Property with the General Administration of Customs
• The benefits for your business of registering your Intellectual Property with customs
• The types of Intellectual Property than can be protected through customs
