Intellectual Property Strategies
in Doing Business in China

FOLEY & LARDNER LLP

Foley & Lardner LLP invited local business owners to a roundtable discuss with IP (intellectual property) Partner Catherine Sun on August
1st, 2007. Ms. Sun has newly joined Foley as a partner and will lead
and station in Shanghai when Foley‘s request of a Shanghai branch
offi ce is approved by the Ministry of Justice of the People’s Republic
of China. The Shanghai office would be the fi rm’s second office
in Asia following the Tokyo offi ce, which opened in 2003.
The Shanghai offi ce will focus on assisting companies
with intellectual property (IP) counseling
and dispute resolution.

“Doing Business in China” is no longer a foreign term. For U.S. business,
the explosive business opportunities in China are unprecedented
but challenges such as IP protection should be carefully handled.
Catherine Sun’s presentation included some real cases she handled
before which helped the audiences further understand
the real situation the US businesses facing in China right now.
The president of Asian American Chamber of Commerce,
Becky Szymanski along with some of her Board Directors
also attended the conference.
