In February, the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNPA) released new amendments (in a draft form) to the Chinese Trademark Law to improve trademark protection and simplify the trademark registration procedure. Trademark protection remains a high priority for companies operating in the Chinese market. However, significant regulatory efforts are made to protect trademarks and reduce the risk of trademark infringements and squatting. This webinar will discuss the key proposed amendments to the Chinese Trademark Law, mainly referring to the protection against trademark squatting practices.
