Elliot Papageorgiou, head of IP Strategy – China at Gowling WLG, will consider what lies behind the current surge in Chinese filings and how practitioners should respond, helping you to refocus your priorities in this area.

This webinar will help you to refocus your priorities when dealing with high volumes of Chinese filings in the UK and elsewhere.

The webinar will offer you:

  • Expertise and knowledge on trade mark filing practice in China and its current notable trends, particularly in relation to Chinese filings in the UK, EU and US and via the Madrid System

  • How you, as a trade mark professional, can react to China-related trade mark filing/prosecution trends
  • What do the trends mean for you?

Learning outcomes:

  • Refocus your priorities when dealing with the fallout expected as a result of the high volumes of Chinese filings
  • Develop responses to this major change in the IP landscape, identifying ways for brand owners to update their strategies and practices in all global regions
