E-commerce and China: Strategies for fighting online counterfeits, Part 1
E-commerce now accounts for nearly 14% of all retail sales and continues to grow at a healthy rate. But U.S. businesses engaged in e-commerce, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), face a number of challenges in protecting their intellectual property (IP) on e-commerce platforms.
Register now for this free program to learn proven strategies for protecting and enforcing your IP rights when selling on e-commerce platforms.
Part 1 of the two-part series will focus on IP issues related to selling in China and combating the sale of Chinese counterfeits on e-commerce platforms. The program will feature presentations by senior United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) IP attorneys with extensive China IP experience, representatives from such e-commerce platforms as Amazon and Alibaba, and a seasoned practitioner who has worked with clients encountering IP issues on e-commerce platforms.
Topics to be covered include:
- IP and e-commerce platforms
- brand strategies
- challenges of the Chinese market
- dealing with counterfeit goods
During the program, participants can submit their questions to a dedicated email box. There will be time allotted to respond to participants' questions.
Part 2 of the series will be held later this year and will focus on offline enforcement strategies when doing business with or in China.
Agenda
A detailed agenda will be posted to this page at least one week before the program date.
