Reviews
“Prud'homme and Zhang's book should be in the hand carry luggage of every businessperson and diplomat traveling to China to negotiate IP and trade issues. The book offers clear, empirical, and practical analysis of China's rapidly developing and often confounding IP and innovation system.” (Mark A. Cohen, Senior Fellow and Director, Berkeley Center for Law and Technology, formerly Senior Counsel, USPTO and Senior IP Attaché, US Embassy Beijing)
“Given the on-going trade war between China and the United States rooted in the disputes over technology transfer and IPR protection, this book is a must read to get insights about China’s strategic IP policies, foreign firms' perceptions of China’s IP regime, the state’s role in Chinese patenting, among many other important issues.” (Yahong Li, Associate Professor, Director, LLM Program in Technology and IP Law, Faculty of Law, The University of Hong Kong)
“This timely book provides a comprehensive evaluation of the risks the Chinese intellectual property regime has posed to innovation and foreign businesses. Prud'homme and Zhang provide a careful and nuanced analysis that takes stock of the regime's recent improvements while highlighting its continuous shortcomings. Even better, the book offers concrete suggestions on how the regime could be strengthened to better foster innovation and entrepreneurship. An important read for business managers and policy makers alike!” (Peter K. Yu, Professor of Law and Communication and Director, Center for Law and Intellectual Property, Texas A&M University)
