In recent years, as more and more Chinese enterprises go abroad, they are not only famous for Chinese manufacturing, but also win attention for Chinese creation. However, the accompanying intellectual property issues, especially the frequent intellectual property disputes in the United States, the European Union and other places, also make enterprises more actively seek solutions.
In order to learn more about the situation of Chinese enterprises and the demand for foreign-related protection of intellectual property rights, the European Patent Office has increased its visit and investigation to China in recent years. For the visit to China in June this year, due to the tight schedule, the European Bureau left the one-day exchange opportunity of the Beijing trip to Richard. As a firm with the largest number of agents in foreign-related cases and the largest number of PCT applications in the world, Richie has rich experience in handling foreign-related cases and better understands the demands of Chinese enterprises. The delegation of the European Patent Office hopes to work with Richie's patent agents, lawyers and representatives of Richie's clients on patent applications and reviews of Chinese enterprises in the EU, Conduct in-depth exchanges and discussions.
On June 24, a four person delegation led by the European Patent Office (EPO) came to Richie. All the members of the delegation were examiners in the telecommunications field of the EPO. They made a detailed introduction and discussion on the trends, review trends and changes, application processes and other issues of patent applications in the telecommunications field of the EU, and worked with agents in the telecommunications field of Richie and enterprise representatives in related industries, Exchange the current situation and main problems of Chinese enterprises applying for patent protection in the EU. We also discussed and analyzed the actual handling of the cases involved in the discussion, as well as the handling methods of some entity contents, in order to judge whether the handling methods of the agents are appropriate. We also fully understood the standards that the examiners of the European Office usually deal with.
Relying on years of good cooperation and interaction with the European Bureau, Richie has constantly provided opportunities for Chinese enterprises to communicate with the inspectors, and fed back the most concerned questions of Chinese enterprises to the inspectors for the most professional answers. The delegation of the European Bureau said that it was very grateful to Richard for providing such an exchange opportunity, and would continue to arrange extensive exchanges with Richard's professionals and Richard's customer representatives in the future study arrangements in China.
