Description
Protecting IP in China is essential to any global company's overall strategy. By obtaining and enforcing Chinese patents, U.S. companies can directly pursue alleged infringers in China. China may be favored for patent infringement litigation because patent infringement cases in China are fast-paced and low-cost and because Chinese IP courts are not reluctant to order injunctions. U.S. companies and their counsel must understand the Chinese IP system to leverage its advantages effectively.
The China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) released its Draft Amendments to the Patent Examination Guidelines in April 2025, addressing emerging technologies related to AI and other patent examination issues.
Further, companies seeking to protect intellectual property in China should also consider the Anti-Unfair Competition Law (AUCL). Used mainly by Chinese companies to resolve claims that should but cannot be addressed by current IP laws, Chinese authorities have increased enforcement of the AUCL, resulting in substantial fines for companies.
Listen as our authoritative panel of patent attorneys guides practitioners on Chinese patent law and the Chinese system. The panel will discuss the new amendments to the Guidelines for Examination and current litigation trends. The panel will also discuss the AUCL and offer best practices for U.S. companies and counsel to operate in the Chinese system and increase IP protection.
