This presentation fully demonstrated WEIPR's comprehensive strength and service advantages.
Subsequently, Dr. Ingo Bauer shared insights into his organization and provided a focused introduction to the characteristics and practical experiences of the intellectual property protection systems in his home country and the broader European region. The core of the meeting centered on mutually relevant IP topics. Attendees engaged in in-depth discussions on the differences between the Chinese and European patent protection systems, particularly examining key aspects such as examination standards, procedures, and enforcement mechanisms. Furthermore, the parties exchanged views on the strategic advantages of design patent applications and the latest international trends and challenges in design protection. Both sides also shared their professional insights and practical experience regarding the efficient provision of patent infringement litigation and rights enforcement services for clients, resulting in a lively and productive exchange.
Following the meeting, the participants gathered for a commemorative group photo. As a symbol of goodwill, Dr. Ingo Bauer thoughtfully prepared small gifts for the WEIPR hosting team.
