As part of the Canton Fair Experience, we are teaching entrepreneurs to develop unique products, validate the need in the marketplace, and source those products in China at the Canton Fair by negotiating the right price and specifications with factories there.
Protecting your intellectual property is one of the most important considerations if you are in e-commerce and you sell products manufactured in China. You should be aware of the legal considerations for dealing with suppliers, sourcing agents, and factories there so that you can protect your brand, your intellectual property, and your profits.
Watch this compelling interview with Dan Harris of the China Law blog to find out how to avoid scams, how to structure contracts to ensure both parties are protected, and why trademarking your brand in China is a critical step for protecting your products and profits; among other important considerations.
In this interview, Dan gives us shocking examples of brands that have lost everything due to their lack of basic due diligence when sourcing and manufacturing products in China. Mr. Harris also tells us the most important things we need to know before communicating with suppliers, how to vet the validity of a contract or agreement, and when to hire an attorney.
Take the time to watch this interview. You will thank me later.
