A strong brand is instrumental in winning new customers when entering China’s market. As lot of time and money is spent on building brand reputation, it can be damaging to SMEs if someone else started to sell their products under the same brand name.

Successful protection, however, requires a comprehensive strategy, including registering IP such as trademarks, monitoring the market and taking action when spotting infringements.
