To mark the 10th anniversary of the EU-China IP Dialogue Mechanism, the European Chamber is recognising China’s most IP-friendly regions, with an IP Awards Ceremony and Conference on IPR, Innovation and Development.

The conference will touch on how companies innovate in practice, and will explore what they are doing to protect their IPR. It will also examine the various IPR protection mechanisms that are already in place and the challenges and opportunities that have arisen as a result of recent reforms to IPR legislation in China.

Attend this event to find out which regions in China are most committed to protecting your IPR and gain a deeper understanding of China’s IPR landscape.

In appreciation of the continued support of our members, the European Chamber will offer a complimentary ticket to the first 100 members who register.
