SUMMARY:Trademarks\, Geographic Indicators\, and E-Commerce Webinars
DESCRIPTION:Please join us at 8:00 AM ALASKA Time on March 17\, 18\, and 19 as three lawyers working in China share their knowledge on Trademarks\, Geographic Indicators and E-Commerce. Each webinar will be 30 minutes with Q&A at the end so participants may ask the lawyers questions. \nTrademark Fundamentals – March 17\, 2020Trademarks are territorial. Registering a trademark in the United States with USPTO confers essentially no rights in China. Unlike in the United States\, you receive no rights through use; you must register your trademark in China. Please join us at 12:00 noon EDT on Tuesday\, 17 March 2020\, as lawyer Rachel Tan\, Head of the Trademark Department of Rouse & Co. explains how to register your trademark in China. \nGeographic Indicators – March 18\, 2020Phase One of the US – China Trade Agreement signed on 15 January 2020 will help address the potential for inappropriately “overprotecting” geographical indications (GIs) in ways that shut out US agricultural and food producers. Please join us at 12:00 noon EDT on March 18\, 2020 as lawyers He Jing and Lyu Pei of Anjie Law Firm in Beijing discuss what the agreement may mean for US companies\, especially those in the cheese and wine industries\, exporting their products to China\, \nE-Commerce Law – March 19\, 2020China’s new E-Commerce Law came into effect in January 2019 and introduced several provisions aimed at tackling the online offer of counterfeit products. The new framework increases accountability of vendors\, empowers platforms\, fosters their cooperation with rights holders\, and tighten sanctions for violations. Please join us at 12:00 noon EDT on March 19\, 2020 as lawyer Michele Ferrante of Ferrante Intellectual Property (Beijing\, Shanghai\, Hong Kong) explains how US companies may use the E-Commerce Law to enforce their rights in China. \nThe dial-in number for all three webinars is the same: \n888-455-7193 or 1-210-883-9133Passcode: 1781556#One tap: 888-455-7193\, 1781556# \nParticipants can join the event directly by pointing their browser at:https://www.mymeetings.com/nc/join.php?i=RWXW9991377&p=1781556&t=cAudience passcode: 1781556Conference number: RWXW9991377

SUMMARY:How to Leverage the CARES Act for a Tax-Free Student Loan Benefit Program
DESCRIPTION:During these tough economic times\, employers have the unique opportunity to be heroes in their teams challenge to manage student loan debt. The recent stimulus act (CARES) expands the rules of employer sponsored Educational Assistance Programs (IRC Section 127) to help employees ease student loan debt by creating a tax break for employer paid student loan benefits. Now is the time for employers to engage in this critical wellness benefit for employees who are recent graduates and those continuing their education while employed. \nGift of College At-Work – a leading employee benefits platform offering payroll deduction and employer match technology for student loan debt and college savings—wants to guide you on how you can offer this unique benefit. Join this informative webinar featuring college-savings and employee benefits experts to learn how to leverage your existing Educational Assistance Program or the steps needed to create and implement this type of tax advantaged plan\, as well as how to utilize the Gift of College At-Work easy-to-implement payroll deduction and employer contribution platform. \nPresenters include Wayne Weber\, Gift of College CEO; Patricia Roberts\, Gift of College COO; and Angela Tucci\, an employee benefits attorney and consultant. \nProviding support with student loan debt can help alleviate one of your employees’ most significant concerns. The current $1.6 trillion in U.S. student loan debt has created a multigenerational economic burden—and that’s just not ok. \nHistorically\, many employers have not offered student loan benefits because the tax treatment created a burden for both companies and employees. This section of CARES removes barriers for companies to enhance their employee financial wellness\, recruitment\, and retention offerings with non-taxable student loan contributions which empowers employees to pay down their debt balances faster. \n
