In the beginning of this year 2023, the China trademark office, now known as “China National Intellectual Property Administration,” released a draft of amendments on China trademark law which provide some drastic changes targeted at solving bad-faith filing issues. In addition, in the past 2 or 3 years after the implementation of the current Trademark Law (2019) by adding Article 4 prohibiting bad-faith filings with no real intent to use, not only trademark squatters but also many brand owners have received refusals based on Article 4 trademark applications, in particular the brand owners' defensive filing program. Considering such new practices may cause some frustration to brand owners in their brand protection in China, the presentation will share thoughts about the recent changes in practice and potential legislative changes and offer suggestions on the best practices around Article 4 refusals in China.

Join other members of the Intellectual Property Network for a discussion of ‘All Things AI and IP’.  The topic generated so much interest during our May Kaffeeklatsch that we’re turning the July Member Meeting into a networking event and discussing how people are using AI, what steps you are taking to protect your intellectual property and other valuable data, and pushback from customers and others.  We’ll use poll questions to direct the conversation and provide some peer perspective on these topics, then discuss concerns, mitigations, and your experience.  If you have any questions you’d like to be part of the discussion, please send them in advance (and confidentially) to Margo Lynn at margolynn.hablutzel@gainwelltechnologies.com
