Piecing it Together: Intellectual Property Strategies for China, South East Asia, and Europe

Are you taking the right measures to protect your IP globally? 

Just as you wouldn’t leave your house door open, you shouldn’t leave your intellectual property (IP) vulnerable when entering foreign markets. Expanding internationally requires proactive steps to register, secure, and capitalize on your IP across different legal systems and languages. While China presents unique IP challenges, understanding the broader IP landscapes in Southeast Asia and Europe is just as important.

This webinar will offer strategic insights on managing IP protection across these regions, including how to assess domestic IP readiness and extend protection into new markets.
