A seminar on trends in IP litigation jointly sponsored by the law firm of Oblon Spivak in the United States and Beijing Unitalen Attorneys at Law was recently held in Beijing.

The seminar provided a closer look at the system for IP litigation and procedures in the US, and explored strategies and countermeasures by professional lawyers.

During the session, lawyers from the two firms gave lectures on US patent disputes and litigation heard by the International Trade Commission, for patents in China and reexamination by the US Patent and Trademark Office.

A similar seminar was held in Shanghai two days later.
