As the world begins to reflect on their COVID-19 experience, the changes it caused in society, and how governments, companies and communities have had to adapt, we also begin to focus on strategizing a way forward. This path forward is especially important for Multinational Companies (MNC’s) who have started to feel the ripple effects of a global growth slowdown in their demand, confidence and supply chain. Companies will need to revamp their business plans, expectations, and plan of action to increase their resilience long-term.

The European Chamber is honoured to hear from Mr Mats Rahmström, Global President and CEO of Atlas Copco in a fireside chat with Mr Joerg Wuttke, President of the European Chamber on 29th May 4:00pm (GMT+8).

The IP Tribunal of the Supreme People’s Court (SPC) recently issued a decision in Dunjun v. Tengda ((2019) SPC IP Civil No. 147), holding that the manufacturer’s making and selling of routers directly infringed a telecommunication method-of-use patent even though the manufacturer itself did not perform the patented method. This case is recognised the Chinese Akamai case.

The European Chamber is delighted to invite Mr. Steve SONG, Partner and Patent Attorney of Beijing DHH Law Firm, who represented the defendant in this landmark case to provide our members insights by studying the judgement of a few cases regarding multi-party patent infringement.

After decades of uninterrupted globalisation, the connections between the world’s three largest markets have never been more intertwined. Yet, between a trade war, geopolitical competition and the unexpected curveball of COVID-19, the EU, China and the United States now risk falling prey to making the kind of knee-jerk reactions that could leave the global system in a tangled mess. The surge in talk about decoupling and self-reliance begs the question, has the world reached ‘peak globalisation’?

Dire challenges resulting from climate change are cementing sustainability and green growth as a necessity for all countries. This can be seen in the change in priorities of both the EU and China as they become more holistic and sustainability-focused in their approaches to economic growth.

Medical resource shortages are increasingly challenging for many countries battling the COVID-19 pandemic. In response to the need, various companies are donating money, personal protective equipment (PPE), ventilators, medicines, disinfectants, food, and other valuable resources. Compliance risks should be carefully considered when providing this valuable assistance to ensure that the resources are put in the right hands with no strings attached. Meanwhile, during the COVID-19 outbreak, the government offers various subsidies to support foreign businesses. Government subsidies beneficiaries face the potential risk of non-compliance.

The European Chamber is delighted to invite Simon Hui, Lead Partner of Baker & McKenzie LLP to share his experience and insights to help our member companies to stay compliant during this special time. The meeting will cover the below topics:

1. Overview of legal requirements under PRC Law
2. Regulatory framework under FCPA, UKBA and France Sapin II Law
3. Industry specific requirements in the medical industry
4. Identify and manage risks arising from donation and government subsidies
5. Case study
