Overview
Design protection is often overlooked by European companies doing business in China, despite being a very useful IP right as it protects the appearance of products and allows enterprises to act against copycats offering lower-quality products by copying the design elements. Design protection is thus essential not only for the creative industry but also for manufacturers developing unique design solutions. Under the current regulatory framework, design protection primarily falls under the scope of design patent. However, there are also other available design protection measures.
During the two workshop sessions, IP experts will train companies and individuals on design patent registration and enforcement and design protection through copyright and anti-unfair competition remedies.

About the First Session (June 29th)
Design Patent: How to Register Design Patent and Enforcement
During the first session, our speakers will train companies on how to register a design patent (national and international routes, requirements, registration procedures, list of documents necessary for completing the registration, costs, protection term, and invalidation) and the differences between the EU's and China's design registration systems. They will also provide a practical overview of the design patent enforcement, focusing on evidence collection, raids and investigations, and different enforcement avenues with estimated costs involved and remedies available.
