On June 14 and 15, the USPTO will conduct a seminar in the Detroit area on intellectual property issues relating to China.
The program includes an overview of Chinese intellectual property laws, including trademark, patent, copyright, trade secret, and unfair competition laws, and an overview of the appropriate government agencies.
Sessions on counterfeiting and infringement are also planned. Breakout sessions to focus the issues on specific industries will be held on the second day.
John Dudas, Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office, will deliver the keynote address during lunch on the second day.
You can view/download a .pdf of the brochure for the seminar here.
There is NO CHARGE to attend the seminar, but seating is limited. You must register by June 7, 2005 by using the form in the brochure.
Receptions will be hosted by Butzel Long at the end of each day.
I’ll be attending both sessions.
