China Law Blog

On November 9, 2006, from 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm EST (USA), The U.S. Department of Commerce, Office of China Economic Area, will be putting on a webinar, entitled, "The Latest on Trademark Protection in China."  The program is free, though preregistration is required. 

I have attended Department of Commerce events on China and they tend to be quite good.  This webinar is described as a "discussion of China's Proposed Revisions to Trademark Law, Best Practices for Managing International Trademark Portfolios, Starbucks' Trademark Protection Strategies for China." 

The China Trade Law Report recently published my article, entitled, "China's Trademark Laws -- Simple and Effective," extolling the necessity of registering and protecting one's trademarks in China.  I am of the view that China trademark registrations can be quite effective and I would think this webinar will prove helpful to companies seeking to learn more about China's trademarking process.
