Recommendation

Although China has made great improvements to its intellectual property (IP) laws in the last few years, inconsistent enforcement has damaged the country’s relationship with several big and powerful companies. In this short but insightful article for Caixin, German ambassador to China Michael Clauss outlines the problems that China still faces in bolstering consumer confidence and luring foreign businesses. getAbstract recommends this quick read to anyone with an interest in international business, IP laws or Chinese relations with Western nations.

Take-Aways

  • Chinese consumers are increasingly willing to spend money on the best products available.
  • In recent years, the Chinese government has beefed up companies’ intellectual property (IP) rights to lure more foreign companies and to protect consumers.
  • High-profile patent infringements and a proliferation of knockoff brands have called into question the efficacy of China’s current IP laws, even though they are stronger than in previous generations.
