BACKGROUND INFORMATION In the last years China has progressively perfected its legal framework on data governance, featuring inter alia a distinctive cross-border data transfer (CBDT) regime complete with approval procedures, certification standards, and standard clauses on data transfer. This legal framework features rules on the protection and handling of personal information that have been described as being among the world’s strictest.   Simultaneously, China has made steps in the setup of a legal framework for the data economy, to regulate the legal treatment of data as assets. The basic outline of a possible new legal framework on data is set out in the Opinions on Building the Data Basic Regime to Better Exploit the Value of Data Factors, issued in December 2022. This document lays the grounds of a novel property right model tailored specifically for data.   The legal framework on data also has a significant intersection with the IP regime. China is exploring a “data IP protection” regime, based on registration on an ad hoc platform, and is devising solutions to the issue of IP protection in data training activities. China has coupled the above innovations with very significant additions to its institutional framework, including the setup of a National Data Bureau specifically competent for data matters.    What message do the above carry for foreign enterprises? What opportunities and challenges does the evolving data regime pose for them, and how should they prepare to encounter those opportunities and challenges? What rights do market operators enjoy when they generate, collect, and process data, what liabilities may they face, and what steps are necessary?    SEMINAR   The Embassy of Italy, with the support of the China-Italy Chamber of Commerce and EU SME Centre, is proud to present in the morning of May 22, 2024 a seminar where enterprises and legal professionals will have a chance to hear top experts’ views about these issues. Please note that seating is limited and on a first-come, first-served basis.   SPEAKERS   Fabio GIACOPELLO Lawyer - HFG, China-Italy Chamber of Commerce   Mr. Giacopello is a Senior Partner at HFG Law & Intellectual Property in Shanghai.
