What will I learn?
Alanna will focus her presentation on bad faith registrations of Plant Variety Rights and Trade Marks in China. For each Intellectual Property Right, she will identify what are bad faith registrations, the current situation/practice in China, the legal protections available and processes for challenging such applications and registrations and the practical measures that breeders can take to prepare and protect from such applications in China.
