China Briefing’s New Intellectual Property Rights Guide Published

Posted by Reading Time: 2 minutes

Aug. 15 – Our new Technical Guide to China IPR has just been published and is available now, priced US$25 plus p&p from sales@china-briefing.com or via our online bookstore.

The book, the seventh and latest addition to our expanding and highly popular series on China legal and tax matters, was produced in association with Austria Wirschaftsservice—the Austrian Federal Bank—whose specialist, Shanghai-based IPR unit combines investigation, patent attorneys and other legal professionals in China to assist their client’s IPR needs.
