Survey

As a leader in IPR protection, your opinions are important to us. Please take a moment to share your thoughts on the most pressing IPR issues facing your industry in China. This is an excellent opportunity to help Shanghai – China’s largest city and industrial area – reform its IPR policies, tackle its serious counterfeiting and piracy problems, and become a national role model.

Your comments will be used to help us plan a future Sino-American Intellectual Property Training Conference (tentatively scheduled in mid-May 2005) with the Shanghai Intellectual Property Administration.

The spring event follows on the heels of an October conference, which attracted more than 500 distinguished government officials, industry representatives, educators and legal experts from the United States and China. You can learn more about the participants and their presentations at www.aief-usa.org/ipr.
