Chinese Firms in the US: Strategies for story telling in US and IP protection

In the globalized business environment, the importance of overseas intellectual property (IP) protection for enterprises is self-evident. It serves not only as a legal shield for safeguarding a company's core innovations and brand value but also as a critical strategy determining its success or failure in the international market competition. Effective IP protection prevents technology theft and the proliferation of counterfeit products, thereby preserving a company's unique competitive edge and revenue streams. Furthermore, it is a vital cornerstone for enhancing corporate value, attracting investment, and ensuring compliant operations during the process of internationalization. Neglecting this aspect can expose a company to significant financial losses, damage to brand reputation, and potential vulnerability in complex international legal disputes.


Meanwhile, against the backdrop of geopolitical conflicts, enterprises must deeply integrate global crisis management experience with China's "Going Global" practices when formulating overseas brand and communication strategies. This approach is crucial for mitigating risks, safeguarding overseas interests, and achieving sustainable international development.


We will cover these topics below:

  • Polish your narrative in North America
  • Stakeholder engagement in US for Chinese companies
  • IP Protection and Patent


We welcome all members and non-members interested in overseas investment topics to join us!
