China Trademark Law. It's All Good.

Steve Dickinson, a partner at Harris & Moure, told WTR that, following entry into the World Trade Organization, China has “made remarkable progress in enforcement of trademark and patent rights”, but warned: “The same is not true of copyright, and this is where considerable problems still continue. The rate of copying has not really declined.”

However, Dickinson is unsure whether this [the proposed trademark law changes] will have an impact on confidence over the next year: “Most people are unaware of the amendments. Moreover, the changes are not really focused on enforcement and people who have been in China for some time have learned not to rely on changes in legislation. It is never clear when a law will be adopted or what the final version will say. Many proposed laws are changed dramatically in the final version, so we have to wait and see what is adopted.”
