The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China and the American Chamber of Commerce in China present an afternoon seminar on China's New Patent Law and What It Means for Business on Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010 at Kerry Center Hotel.
On January 9th, the State Council passed the long-awaited Implementing Regulations to China’s new Patent Law. The landmark regulations provide for several new procedures that will shape the implementation of China’s patent regime.
