Overview

A Presentation by John Tao, Air Products & Chemicals, Inc.
In this slide presentation (with text summary), John Tao provides Western companies with the cultural and historical background to help them make better choices with respect to protecting their Intellectual Property (IP) when doing business with China. Tao discusses China’s rapid economic growth and traces the parallel development of IP law. Tao covers the various types of IP and the level of enforcement Westerners should expect with regard to each of them. He also discusses types of IP claims, China's court structure, and preferred methods for conflict resolution. Finally, Tao advises Western companies to examine how the Chinese are protecting their own IP and to imitate their example. According to Tao, choosing the right partner, internal training, and limiting access to core IP to a need-to-know basis, are important keys to protecting IP in these rapidly emerging markets.
