More sharing of views on IP urged

Legal experts have called for more exchanges of information on matters relating to intellectual property between professionals in China and the United States amid growing business links between the two countries.

"With so many moving parts in Chinese policy changing so rapidly, and with the relationship between China and the US changing so rapidly, there will be a constant need for information and ways to present (companies') technology and ideas," said Randall R. Rader, a former US federal appeals court chief judge who has more than 25 years' experience in IP and patent law.

Rader made the remarks via video in a keynote speech for the US-China Intellectual Property Exchange and Development Foundation's grand inaugural event and fundraising dinner on Tuesday in New York. Rader is also a member of the foundation's board of trustees.
