In June 2017, Dr. Lulin GAO, Chairman of Beijing East IP and founding Commissioner of the SIPO, was invited to speak on the “Managing the China Challenge” panel at the IPBC Global 2017 in Ottawa, Canada.

When answering the questions with respect to “Whether China’s judicial environment can ensure that patent disputes for the foreign party could be fairly settled”, as one of the founders of the modern China intellectual property system, Dr. GAO gave a very clear and positive answer, in the meanwhile, he introduced the development and the achievements of China’s intellectual property judicial environment in recent years in detail. Dr. GAO’s presentation was highly acknowledged by attendees from around the world.For senior IP executives, integration has become a pivotal issue as innovation and new technology platforms have brought industries closer when just a few years ago were still very disconnected. Traditional IP management strategies have to be reinvented and new operational models developed. As the IPBC Global celebrated its 10th anniversary this June, the IPBC Global 2017 program reflected this transforming reality and examined the challenges that convergence poses for the IP community from multiple angles. As one of the leading Chinese firms, Beijing East IP had numbers of productive discussions with IP talents from around the world on IP related hot topics at the conference, share the ways to promote industrial development and prepare for future challenges.
