  		• Protect your Trademark... before Someone else Trades Your Mark TOP
    Date: 06/05/2007
    Website: E-mail:
    Highlight: China's rapid growth in production, income and spending has led to a commensurate growth in demand for food and other products. While quality U.S. food products often make it to store shelves, an estimated 20-30 percent of products are counterfeit. China's "first-to file" system requires no evidence of prior use or ownership, leaving registration of popular foreign marks open to third parties. Foreign companies that have established themselves in China include protecting their intellectual property as an integral part of the cost of doing business. This means registering your trademark with the China trademark office, and ensuring you understand as well as use the progressive enforcement mechanisms available in China to stop infringers.

  		• Going to China?: Trademark your Intellectual Property Now! TOP
    Date: 03/27/2007
    Website: E-mail:
    Highlight: United States producers lost more than $84 billion last year from intellectual property rights infringements in the People¡¯s Republic of China. Automobiles, sports equipment, drugs, food and other agricultural products all suffer. The more a product is recognized as a quality product, the more likely it is to be counterfeited and sold in the local market, in other countries, or even re-exported to the U.S. China is rapidly developing the tools necessary for you to protect your intellectual property, however. A very small investment of time and money can provide large dividends and future protection.
