Trademarks, Geographic Indicators, and E-Commerce Webinars
March 19, 2020 @ 8:00 am - 9:00 am
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.
Trademark Fundamentals – March 17, 2020
Trademarks 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.
Geographic Indicators – March 18, 2020
Phase 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,
E-Commerce Law – March 19, 2020
China’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.
