From May 21 to May 24, 2006, our Chairman, Dr. Lulin Gao taught a Master's level Class on "Patent Law and Practice in China" at the John Marshall Law School in Chicago. The course focused on the introduction of current Chinese Patent Law and attempted to give U.S. legal professionals and students a better understanding of the current Chinese IP system (especially the patent system) in order to assist them in building a strong IP portfolio and to help them use IP rights to create value in China.
