EPO President Pledges to Take Chamber's IPR Concerns to SIPO

Benoit Battistelli, President of the European Patent Office (EPO), attended a working dinner with the European Chamber on 26th November in Beijing. General Manager of the Chamber's Beijing Chapter, Maggie Xie, presented President Battiselli with the Position Paper 2015/2016 and briefed him on the Chamber's IP-related advocacy efforts as well as recent trends in China's business climate.

 Attending Chamber members shared their IP issues and experiences in China. IP attachés from Member State embassies and representatives from the China IPR SME Helpdesk gave a brief introduction on their efforts successfully supporting EU businesses in IPR matters. President Battistelli took note of participants' concerns and suggestions so that he could present them to the Commissioner of the State Intellectual Property Office of China (SIPO) in his meeting the following day.
