Pracitising Law Institute (PLI) will be offering a webinar on "The Chinese Intellectual Property Framework — Structural Changes" on March 5, 2019 from 1:00 to 2:00 pm (ET).  Elizabeth Chien-Hale of CKR Law will focus on some of the most notable changes for 2019:  the role and function of the newly merged CNIPA, the establishment of a national IP appeals court within China's Supreme People's Court, and the new, hopefully final amendments, to the Patent Law.  The webinar will address the following topics:

• The background information for the new changes to the Chinese IP protection framework
• The legal ramifications of the new changes to the Chinese IP protection framework
• Explanations for what these changes may mean for foreign holders of Chinese IP rights
