Intellectual Property Strategy in China
As IP.com Inc.'s Executive Vice President and head of Asia Pacific operations for the company, I've been in China for several years, discussing with leading companies and governmental agencies how this emerging superpower of technological innovation--not just manufacturing powerhouse--will adapt the best practices of other global economic leaders to develop and manage intellectual property in China.
As the whole world is witnessing China’s booming economy in recent years, Chinese corporations are becoming aware how critical indigenous innovation is for domestic businesses to survive the international competition in the wake of economic globalization. Eager to improve the present intellectual property service system, which is less efficient and not well supervised as compared with those of industrialized countries, governments at all levels in China are struggling to strengthen the construction of developed, powerful service channels to further boost a sustainable development, especially during the current global recession, by cooperating with relevant oversea companies and institutions as well as on their own.
As part of the effort to achieve this goal, the 5th International Conference on Corporate Intellectual Property Strategy, co-hosted by the Intellectual Property Development Research Center of the State Intellectual Property Office (SIPO), the National Science & Technology Infrastructure Center of the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Science & Technology Office and the IP Office of Henan Province will be held on the end of October, 2009 in Zhengzhou, Henan Province of China. A variety of professionals, managers and experts related to intellectual property and technology innovation, from IP service organizations, enterprises and research institutions home and abroad, will be invited. Topics include the construction of both Chinese and foreign IP service platforms,
