China’s role in the patenting arena is rapidly growing – both in terms of international filing and also in terms of patent protection in China. This year, for example, China overtook Germany as the third largest filer of U.S. Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) patent applications. Likewise, China is now seeking to improve the patenting process and enforceability of patents in China. As a result, intellectual property protection is now being recognized as key part of China’s strategy for economic growth. Obtaining and enforcing patents in China is more crucial than ever.
This webcast focuses on strategies for patent prosecution in China, including:
- Strategies for obtaining strong and valid patents
- Types of patents to file
- Timing of filing patents
- Patentable subject matter
- Timeline for examination
- Assignment and ownership
- Enforcement considerations
