An international seminar on intellectual property protection held last week in Xuhui district discussed the latest cases in Europe, the United States and Japan, along with information on foreign trials and enforcement.

Organizers said the seminar was designed to assist domestic companies that lack knowledge of overseas legal practices, which leads to a failure in maintaining IP rights in disputes abroad.

The meeting was organized by the district's intellectual property administration that provides services to high-tech startups.
