The event is organized in collaboration with the Embassy of Italy in China and the Italian Trade Agency in the occasion of “World Consumer Rights Day” and under the patronage of the European Union Delegation in Beijing.  The seminar will be divided into three sessions and will feature several speakers.  The first session will be a legal seminar on GIs Protection in China. The seminar will be held from 11.00 to 13.00, only in English. The aim is to raise awareness among Italian companies on how they can safeguard the GIs in China. The morning session will be then followed by a conference on GIs Protection and a comparison of different experiences, between 14.00 and 17.00 (with simultaneous Chinese translation). The seminar will give the opportunity to promote Italian GIs in China, also through the presentation of several case studies from Protection Consortia.
