In today's technology-rich environment, companies increasingly get involved in technology licensing and recognize the value of data as a business asset that should be protected and can be exploited through licensing to other parties for more synergy.

Companies therefore can encounter a range of agreements that implicate the protection and treatment of technology, data and related intellectual property (IP) rights. Where one party is seeking to exploit a software, a data feed or has developed a database it wishes to license, data and IP issues may be the specific focus of a transaction. However, those issues also arise as an ancillary consideration in other licenses and commercial transactions, e.g. technology services arrangements or as capital contribution for joint ventures.

A strong brand is instrumental in winning new customers when entering China’s market. As lot of time and money is spent on building brand reputation, it can be damaging to SMEs if someone else started to sell their products under the same brand name. Thus, brand protection is the key to success on China’s market. Successful protection, however, requires a comprehensive strategy, including registering IP such as trademarks, monitoring the market and taking action when spotting infringements.

For many, the CSR function has been critically important in working closely alongside other key functions to ensure coordination of initiatives to both mitigate negative impact to the company and to maximize support to employees and other important stakeholders. As the situation continues to evolve and move beyond immediate crisis response, the focus of the CSR function needs to shift to improving preparedness, prevention, and organizational resilience. In this webinar, we will explore what critical steps and issues CSR practitioners need to consider next, to ensure their companies are capturing and acting on “lessons learned”.
