free uspto roadshow in houston, april 2-3
I just received word from the USPTO that they are hosting another one of their “China Road Show” events, which promises to be very interesting and informative. It takes place at the Houston Hobby Airport Marriott on April 2-3 this year. Here is the promotional language:
The USPTO is holding a 2-day, free, program to help U.S. businesses protect and enforce their intellectual property rights (IPR) in China. The program is for companies of any size, from those contemplating entering the China market to those with an established presence in China, and including those who simply want to know more about protecting their products from counterfeiting and piracy.
This program is part of the USPTO’s continuing commitment to increase public awareness of the importance of intellectual property rights and the need to protect and enforce these rights in the global marketplace.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND: Companies of any size, from those contemplating entering the China market to those with an established presence in China, and including those who simply want to know more about better protecting themselves against IP theft from abroad.
TOPICS: China’s laws and regulations that may affect how a business protects and enforces its intellectual property, how best to protect business assets to avoid intellectual property problems in the first place, how to recognize when an intellectual property asset has been infringed, what to do if infringement occurs, and what the U.S. government is doing to improve the intellectual property protection and enforcement environment
in China.
Registration link is here. If only this were in the Bay Area, CA again.
