IP Challenges for Foreign Battery Makers in China – Latest Industrial and Legal Trends
China is a key market and a serious player in the lithium battery business, especially for EV and other industrial uses. The Chinese government has enacted policies favoring domestic business, while foreign battery makers are left to their means when navigating a very different legal environment. This creates unique challenges for U.S. and European battery makers trying to enter the Chinese battery market. Securing their IP, protecting their supply chain from illegal infiltrations by counterfeiters, preventing and fighting back IP theft, stopping and deterring infringers and counterfeiters are some of these challenges which they cannot avoid when doing business with China. In this webinar we will provide an overview of these challenges, the risk they pose to the business models and strategies of the foreign right holders for overcoming these challenges. We will also provide useful advise and tips for procuring and protecting IP rights in China.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Challenges in the battery business in China from the IP perspective
• R&D, patent filing strategies and trade secrets
• Securing supply chain
• IP theft
• IP infringementPresenter
