"Intellectual Property Rights - Avoid turning Chinese suppliers into future competitor & prevent US competitors from hijacking the China supply chain you have pioneered."

Over the last six months or so, my firm's work for Chinese companies going international has zoomed, and with that, my knowledge of how Chinese companies "handle" foreign companies has zoomed as well.

Had a couple of really interesting discussions about working with Chinese factories today. One was with a Purchasing Manager from the States that buys for his company in China.

China's Supreme Court recently confirmed what my firm has always been telling its clients: if you want to protect your trademark in China, you absolutely must register it in China.
