IPR and China – Ways to deal with – Ways to deal withInfringement/counterfeiting

Workshop Agenda Ways to deal with Infringement/counterfeiting: Prevention - first & best Detection – find out sooner rather than later Enforcement – an attempt to cure problem

Prevention There are laws in China: Trademark, patent, copyright Domain names Trade secrets, tech transfer Plant varieties, IC designs, etc But China is a first to file jurisdiction and they know it….

Prevention

Registering a trademark may cost 1,000 RMB What about the cost of not registering? Case Study:

Prevention - recap Register IPR - Use a layered defence Domain names – a growing issue in China: list of officially recommended registrars on the CNNIC website: ex/0L/index.htm Keep trade secrets ‘secret’ Contracts NDA / Confidentiality agreements Notarize Check & ensure IP materials used correctly Control labels / packaging / marketing material etc

Detection Police your market e.g. -Check suppliers -Audit manufacturers -Internet sweeps -Feedback from customers/sales staff -Market surveys -Customs (China & EU) Trade Fairs -Check exhibitor contract -Research other exhibitors -Prepare an IP pack -Determine strategy

Detection / Enforcement -Prepare documents -Collect basic info on suspected infringers -Prepare explanation / evidence -Power of Attorney -Any Complaint Centre Trade Fairs - Good preparation is key: Guangzhou Trade Fair

Enforcement Three strands of enforcement action: 1.Administrative action 2.Criminal action 3.Civil action

Enforcement Administrative action: – There are over 30 different administrative authorities. No-one coordinates nor investigates. You need to obtain evidence and convince the authorities, who can: – carry out unannounced raids – seize, impound and destroy fake goods – issue punishment decisions – impose fines (not large) – revoke business licenses Criminal action – usually escalated via Admin Authorities SAIC building - Beijing

Enforcement - Raids Examples of raids – car parts, garments, shoes

Enforcement - Raids Exterior of Military area – PLA production base Shoe boxes printed with sale price in £ & Euros Factory making infringing footballs

Enforcement Civil action – plenty of resources: - 120,000+ lawyers, 10,000+ law offices, 350,000 court staff To guide you through the maze: – Trade associations / Chambers of Commerce etc – China IPR SME Helpdesk – Complaint Centers

Enforcement Other options: Take action outside China Negotiate Licence infringer Do nothing

Summary You don’t have to be an expert –there are plenty out there Register rights – if you don’t own it you can’t protect it You need to be the first to file IPR in China Use good contracts Prevention better than cure Be proactive
