How To Protect Your IP Internationally: The Extreme Basics

I recently spoke with an in-house IP lawyer at a high-tech hardware client that does business all over the world, mostly in emerging market countries with weak intellectual property rights and protections, including China. When it comes to protecting their IP, this company employs what he calls a “Swiss Army Knife approach,” meaning they do

How to stay out of Foreign Jails and What to do if Arrested

China Employee Non-Compete Agreements and Their Appropriate Geographic Scope

The general rule for China on this is quite simple: China will enforce a “reasonable” geographic scope. But what does that even mean? The analysis
