Much of the debate is misdirected at whether there actually is protection, But the question to be asked should be one of "how" not "whether." Businesses have been longing for a practical guide that will enable them to navigate through the complex, dynamic and usually blurred field of IPR protection in this fast developing economy. this long-felt need is now fulfilled by Alan Adcock and Rebecca Or dish in this accomplished book. - S.

At the same time, it has impalement a wide-ranging and complex system of intellectual property laws and structures.

It is all to easy to forget to protect your intellectual property rights and even easier to think you can do this later when you are first exploring the China market. Written in an easy, readable style, this book contains invaluable advice from the authors who have long experience of operating in the world's most dynamic market. I recommend that you read this book before your first trip to China and don't forget the lessons provided in the book as you enter the market. - Ian Crawford "The Life and Death of IP in China" could be another name for this book but that would be a disservice. The book covers everything from when IP is a glint in the eye of its creators (R&D or brand creation) to how to avoid the loss of IP rights. Rebecca and Alan have brought their wealth of experience from the day-to-day handling of IP matters in China including case studies and practical tips which I wholeheartedly commend to readers. - Douglas Clark
