About the Seminar:
Eligon IP Partner Amy Hsiao has been invited to speak at the 2023 Intellectual Property Law Spring Seminar, hosted by the Institute of Continuing Legal Education. The seminar will explain to those interested in trademark and patent law on how to protect a brand’s image and products, which can be especially difficult when navigating within a complex global legal system. Hosting her own plenary session, Amy will use her expertise to discuss enforcement and anti-counterfeiting strategies in China, while also focusing on the major differences between Chinese and U.S. trademark systems.
