The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China PRD Chapter IPR Working Group is organising a workshop with the Guangdong Provincial AIC on the subject of trademark infringement on the internet.
The workshop aims to cover practical and technical issues faced by the AIC and rights holders in dealing with trademark infringement activities on the Internet, such as establishing jurisdiction, and administrative procedure and penalties. The workshop will include case studies for discussion.
The workshop is intended for IP owners and their counsel to review specific issues, establish best practices, and, where issues can not be resolved, produce a list of recommendations. The Guangdong AIC has expressed an interest in using this workshop to experiment with new methods of enforcement of online infringement.
The EUCCC has invited a UK lawyer, Mr Tim Smith, formerly counsel for the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), now with IP firm Rouse, to provide guidance on European legislation and practice.
The EUCCC PRD chapter invites European companies or their legal advisors to attend this session, and welcomes you to provide case studies or questions. As with all our events, participants should submit questions or case studies in advance. Companies that face issues of trademark infringement online are particularly encouraged to participate.
