IPR in China: Guidance for Researchers

European research cooperation with China has seen a marked increase in recent years. Though the scale and substance of collaborations certainly varies, in all cases, a basic understanding of intellectual property rights (IPR) within the Chinese context may help to maximize the success of joint cooperation. This brochure aims to provide European researchers with an introduction to the basic aspects of intellectual property and what this means in China. It signposts useful sources of further information and explains where to seek advice and guidance through the different contact points available.
