There is a growing number of opportunities for the European SMEs in China’s ICT sector, particularly in the area of mobile gaming, 5G, the Internet of Things and IT outsourcing as China’s ICT sector is growing rapidly.

SMEs active in ICT sector  will also receive practical tips on how to develop best strategies for protecting their IP. Participants can also pose questions to the expert.

E-commerce in China and dealing with counterfeit goods | Webinar @ Online

The internet has become a popular and easy channel for product distribution around the world. It has created a marketplace of more than half a billion users in China, more than a third of the world’s total online population, and is still expanding. Apart from being a forum for legitimate vendors and original products, the internet is also used by illegal and unscrupulous businesses as a platform for the distribution of counterfeit goods which infringe intellectual property rights (IPR). It is important that European SME’s monitor sites for instances of infringement.

In this webinar the China IPR SME Helpdesk expert Christine Liu will provide you with information on the regulations governing e-commerce and a practical introduction on how to have infringing products removed. Participants will also have the opportunity to ask the questions to the expert.
