Vietnamese5 TIPS: PROTECTING YOUR IP IN CHINA
China is Australia's largest trading partner and a preferred location for manufacturing. These tips will provide insight into the Chinese IP system and preventing knockoffs.
1
Consider registering the Chinese translation of your trade mark to appeal to Chinese consumers and prevent trade mark squatters.
2
Always specify the details of your patent in the description of your patent. Unlike Australia, the Chinese patent system does not acknowledge diagram/graphical descriptions.
3
Licensing and technology transfer can be an effective way for Australian companies to receive revenue from the Chinese market without entering China themselves.
4
Software and business methods are now generally more patentable in China than in Australia.
5
Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan all have separate legal systems. Protection in each territory requires separate registration.
