This session’s topic is around the subject of intellectual property rights (IPR), and how IPR should be managed in the supply chain. As well as the problem of infringement of proprietary designs and trademarks by local factories, sourcing products from China for export also brings a risk of infringement of IPR registered overseas. In addition, a growing number of Chinese companies are becoming owners of their own IPR and asserting their rights against competitors.
We are delighted to have Mr Yihong Ying and Ms Sophia Hou from Rouse to provide a brief introduction to the topic, followed by the discussion, which they will lead.
During this forum we will cover on the following areas:
Some typical case examples of IPR infringement in the supply chain OEM sourcing, risks and precautions ODM sourcing, risks and precautions Supplier contracts checklist
