IP, China and Hong Kong

The IP Dragon has two worthwhile papers:

(1) Hong Kong is a Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic.  What does that mean for protecting your IP? here (and here)

(2) China’s National IP strategy 2008 here.

He also has a link to an interesting paper on your IP strategy in China – most experience suggests you need to get on the ground where your outsourcing is taking place.

Meanwhile, IPKat looks at the problem of bad faith trade mark registrations in China – Phony Sony anyone?

Meanwhile, as the death penalty for IP infringement is proving to be than an absolute deterrent, lateral thinking has been required.  We only sell real products here, really!
