          Event Description: Fast growth, low costs as well as an increasingly skilled workforce and improving infrastructure have attracted many European companies to open manufacturing plants in China, gaining it the label: "World`s Factory".

How can small and medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) take advantage of the manufacturing and sales opportunities in China while minimizing their risk of intellectual property loss? What essential steps should be taken to be protected? How can infringement be fought on a limited budget? The workshop will tackle these questions. It will cover all you need to know about the IPR landscape in China, its advantages and pitfalls. It will provide you with practical tools to prevent IP leaks and put an IPR strategy in place.   Speaker Biography: FABIO GIACOPELLO is partner at HFG Law Firm & IP Agency (China).
