first annual green trade network summit, 9/19
The Monterey Bay Int’l Trade Association (MBITA) is hosting their first annual Green Trade Network Summit, entitled “ When You Think Greek, You Must Think Global“. It will be in Santa Cruz, CA, and is an all day event that runs from 8:30am – 5:30pm. From their website, here is some interesting intro language:
The Green revolution commands a global effort from both business and government. Cleaning the air in China is just as important as it is in California. As all countries are connected through our environment, we also need to collaborate with our Green technologies, products, services and resources to meet the challenge of global warming. This global strategy will grow our companies and at the same time improve our respective economies.
The lunch presentation film also focuses on China:
. . . the Green Dragon Film, will be presented and shown by Max Perelman of Green Dragon. This documentary sheds light on the barriers and opportunities expanding China’s green building movement – one of the biggest untold stories of China’s environmental challenge.
And of course, for the lawyers, the third panel is entitled “License Green Technology in Foreign Markets and Protect Your Intellectual Property”. Crystal Zarpas of Mann & Zarpas, LLP, will be explaining “the complicated process of protecting your intellectual property through the foreign registration process of your product’s trademark”. Yes, it’s not earth shattering, but should be a good practice lesson for anyone dealing with China trademarks.
Registration is here.
