Today, China boasts the largest number of patent applications filed and approved in the world. Some leading Chinese companies, such as Huawei Technologies, Alibaba Group, and Tencent Holdings are on the cutting edge of technological innovation and production globally. In keeping up with the profound transformation in its economy, technology and society, the Chinese intellectual property law, especially the patent law, has evolved rapidly. Today, China's patent system, among other intellectual property rights regimes, is in line with the standard of developed nations such as the United States and Europe. This book teaches one how to conduct research in Chinese patent law and practice. It describes, in general terms, the patent legal system of China and how it is administered; it pulls together all relevant information sources, printed and electronic, for finding statutes, regulations, cases and other matters; and it provides a comprehensive bibliography, plus other useful resources. This new edition offers a sweeping revision of the first edition research guide. Every chapter of the first edition has been revised or reorganized to reflect the changes of the last decades. Much new information is added to this edition. Some new features, such as photos, are incorporated to make the book more readable. All these changes should make the guide more informative and easier to use by the reader.--Publisher.
