James Klaiber, a member of the firm's Intellectual Property Group, was a speaker at the City Bar Center for CLE event “Intellectual Property Considerations in China: Doing Deals & Enforcing Your Rights,” which was co-sponsored by the Asian American Bar Association of New York.

China continues to grow at a torrid pace and foreign investors need to understand the complexities of doing business in China. Intellectual property issues arise in virtually every deal. Learn what you need to know about Chinese patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret law, and what challenges might arise in a joint venture with a Chinese entity, and the types of agreements that may be necessary to achieve your client's goals.

A panel of experienced practitioners discussed enforcement of IP rights in China, as well as recent changes in Chinese law (including Compulsory Licensing) that would possibly impact your strategy.

Klaiber was an introductory speaker and later in the evening he addressed “Compulsory Licensing in China.”
