Intellectual Property (IP) law, and especially the perceived failure to enforce IP rights, is an area that has caused heated disputes between China and other nations. Recently, the Chinese government has stepped up its efforts to improve the IP enforcement regime, with the aim of transforming China from a manufacturing economy to a high-tech innovation economy. Cross-border enforcement of IP rights is a particularly difficult issue, involving problems of international jurisdiction and co-operation.
This seminar will bring together Chinese and Australian representatives from industry, government and academia to discuss the legal and policy issues and potential solutions relating to cross-border enforcement of IP rights between China and Australia.
