\n\nAmerican companies often cannot afford not to do business with China. Whether having their manufacturing done in China or selling their products or services to the Chinese market\, companies involved with China need up-to-date legal advice on how to prevent their technology and other intellectual property from being counterfeited\, pirated\, or otherwise misappropriated. Transactions done in or with China can devalue your IP not just in China\, but in markets around the world. Understanding how to manage IP issues in China can go a long way towards safeguarding your IP.
