The surging growth of china in the past 20 years as an economic super-power has made it a magnet to international businesses. Intellectual property protection is increasingly critical for companies to establish and maintain strong competitive edge in the marketplace. Yet foreign companies entering the Chinese markets often find themselves operating in an uncharted territory with different IP laws and regulations. IP rights protection in China is as challenging as it is confusing. To help our members to better understand and navigate China's complex IP system, OCEAN, along with CABA, NECINA and ACBEA, is pleased to host a free seminar about current Chinese IP law and practice. The invited speaker is Dr. Zoe (Zhaohui) Wang, currently a partner at JUN HE, a prominent law firm in China, with over 300 attorneys and offices in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Dalian, Haikou, Hong Kong, Los Angeles and New York City. Zoe is widely recognized as one of top IP prosecutors/litigators in China. Please contact Karl Qin at Biopharma Vision (617-470-6099) if you have any questions. Background about the speaker Zoe's practice is focused on patent prosecution, infringement and validity opinions, freedom-to-operate analyses, due diligence review, patent litigation, technology transfers and licensing, trademark and trade secret protection strategies. Her work involves technologies in the fields of biotechnology, chemistry, material science, software, electronics and device. Prior to joining Jun He, Zoe was the managing partner of Perkins Coie LLP. She joined Perkins Coie in 2005 and moved to Shanghai to help open the Perkins Coie Shanghai office.
