On 30 October, the “Su Zhi Escort” Training and Salon on Foreign-related Intellectual Property Protection for Enterprises Going Global, hosted by the Lianyungang Intellectual Property Protection Center, was successfully held. Representatives of relevant export-oriented enterprises in Lianyungang, heads of the intellectual property rights protection and assistance centers in various counties and districts, and heads of the sub-centers of the Municipal Intellectual Property Protection Center attended the event.

Sophia Hou, Director of the Guangzhou Branch of Lusheng Law Firm, was invited to participate in the thematic salon on “Analysis of New Phenomena of Overseas Infringement and Corporate Response Strategies”, and Phoebe Wu, Consultant of Rouse International and Strategic Partner of Lusheng, delivered a thematic presentation on “Steady Expansion Overseas: Insights into Overseas Online Markets and Practical IP Protection”.

With the accelerating pace of Chinese enterprises “going global”, overseas online markets have become an important battleground for many enterprises. However, the ever-changing rules of cross-border e-commerce platforms, the lagging layout of overseas intellectual property rights, and frequent malicious infringement litigation have posed more stringent challenges to enterprises’ overseas compliance operations and rights protection responses. During this event, the two speakers engaged in in-depth exchanges with the participants on these issues.

Thematic Salon: Analysis of New Phenomena of Overseas Infringement and Corporate Response Strategies

Attorney Sophia Hou, drawing on multiple cases handled by Lusheng in the field of foreign-related intellectual property services, engaged in in-depth communication with the guests on site. She has long focused on intellectual property rights protection for enterprises going overseas and is particularly familiar with rights protection pathways and operational essentials in Southeast Asia. Based on these practical experiences, she shared specific approaches for enterprises to avoid pitfalls and effectively protect their rights in the process of going global, thereby helping enterprises more effectively safeguard their intellectual property rights in overseas markets.
