Protecting your IP and selling online in China

China holds many opportunities for Australian businesses, but can be a challenging market to succeed in. Amongst the many things a business must consider, protecting intellectual property (IP) should be a top priority.

Some businesses think that IP protection is too difficult or costly, however the reality is that a few simple measures such as registering IP in China early can greatly increase a business’s chance of success. This also applies to Australians looking to sell their products online via e-commerce sites in China without establishing a local presence.
