Please join us on February 2, 2023, at 5 PM Pacific Time on zoom to discuss the recently proposed amendments to China’s Trademark Law. CNIPA announced the draft amendments here. Public comments are due by Feb. 27, 2023.
The event will be moderated by me with three distinguished Chinese trademark lawyers: Lei Yongjian (Wanhuida Law Firm), Lyu Pei (Genlaw), and Charles Feng (Tahota Law Firm). Joseph Simone of SIPS Asia has also agreed to join. The registration form is here. The registration form is here.
Genlaw has graciously made available its side-by-side English translation of the proposed trademark law amendments (below). In addition, USPTO has made available its unofficial draft translations of the official explanation of the draft amendments and of the draft law (below).
I look forward to seeing you on February 2, 2023.

Best
Lars
