Background:
The Institute for Intellectual Property in Asia, at this beginning stage,
will be an information clearing house for the status of intellectual property
protection available in Asia. It is founded by Elizabeth Chien-Hale, a U.S.
licensed patent attorney based in San Jose, California. Ms. Chien-Hale has
work experiences in and cultural knowledge of several Asian countries.
Purpose:
This Institute aims to promote the interest of companies to acquire intellectual
property rights in Asia. Although the majority of Asian countries had
a slow start in this field of intellectual property, they have steadily
made progress in boosting protection for inventive ideas made domestically
and overseas. Similarly, the Institute will also promote the interest
of Asia-based companies to acquire, and resolve complications in, intellectual
property rights in North America.
Web Site
Information:
This information provided by this web site will have more emphasis on
the latest state of IP protection available in Asian countries, because
the information on IP protection in North America and Europe is readily
available in many other web sites.
The Institute
will post articles provided by Asian practitioners at this web site. In
addition, a number of use links are provided which will refer the readers
to other helpful web sites. |

Upcoming
Event:
Upcoming conferences and seminars sponsored by this Institute or other
organizations on the topic of intellectual property protection will be
announced at this web site.
Additional
Resources:
Eventually, this Institute hopes to have an on-site library to host a
collection of books and treaties relating to intellectual property rights
in Asia and in North America. |
