"The book covers every step a company's counsel or patent agent needs to take, from registration of rights to invoking the effective enforcement methods now in place under Chinese law, in order to ensure effective protection of copyright, patents, trademarks, trade names, trade secrets, and licensing arrangements in China. Written by a panel of active Chinese trade authorities - including practicing lawyers and academic specialists - the book shows how to: transfer intellectual property when investing in China; license products and services successfully in China; challenge unfair trade activities successfully via the US International Trade Commission and other non-Chinese authorities; use Chinese media and communications to foster good, undermine piracy, and secure enforcement; use Chinese government administrative authorities to assist in protecting IP rights; combat creative theft of IP rights, especially on the Internet; evaluate the efficacy of a factory raid." -- BACK COVER.
