Globally, intellectual property (IP) is a forceful tool to foster innovation and competition. However, there have also been monopoly practices by IP owners to exclude or restrict competition. In June 2022, China’s State Administration of Market Regulation (SAMR) called for public consultation on the Provisions on Prohibition of Abuse of Intellectual Property Rights to Exclude or Restrict Competition (《禁止滥用知识产权排除、限制竞争行为(征求意见稿)》) .
The European Chamber IPR Working Group cordially invites you to the Working Group Meeting: IP & competition: Interpretation of the draft Provisions on Prohibition of Abuse of Intellectual Property Rights to Exclude or Restrict Competition and latest updates from China, to be held on 11th October, 14.00 – 16.00, at European Chamber Shanghai Office and online.
We are honoured to have Mr Michael Shu, partner at Zhong Lun Law Firm, to share his insights.

The WG meeting language will be either English or Chinese, depending on attendee composition. Speakers and moderator will be onsite. We encourage members to attend onsite to take this opportunity to interact with the speakers and fellow members.
