Madelein Kleyn, President of LES
The IP and licensing industry has been disrupted before and some experienced professionals have seen it happen. These experienced professionals can share their insight to younger professionals as to what lies ahead for the future of the IP/licensing and practice. Will the use of disrupting emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and blockchain disrupt the licensing practice? How are these new tools going to affect the everyday practice of IP/licensing professionals, from in-house counsel to tech-transfer office professionals and private practice attorneys? Will the value of professional services be calculated with other means than hourly rates, if everyone uses powerful tools? Will some tasks of the IP/licensing practice be completely automated in the future? The very diverse panel composed of young and experienced professionals, will discuss these challenging issues and will try to predict the licensing practice of the future, while learning from past disruptions! Moderator: Vincent Bergeron, Immediate Past-Chair of LESI YMC and Co-Chair of LESI’s Communications Committee, Partner and Leader of the Emerging Tech Group at ROBIC, Canada Panel: • Madelein Kleyn, President of LES South Africa, Director, Technology Transfer, Innovus and CEO, Mad K IP Consulting, South Africa; • Shayne Phillips, Managing Member, Six Points Consulting, USA • Olivier Huc, Sales Director, Anaqua, United Kingdom • David Swain, Incoming Chair of LESI YMC, Senior Associate, Deacons, Hong Kong Note from the President It has been an amazing year for LES SA. Our society presented four LES licensing training courses, our sought after advanced IP valuation course and various afternoon talks on subject matter that varied from Gin distillation to artificial intelligence.

Doing Business in China
Doing Business in China Contents Introduction 2 Visas and Work Permits 2 Types of Business Entities 3 Business Environment 7 Foreign Investment Policy 9 Government Initiatives and Incentives 10 Taxation 16 Workplace Relations 20 Dispute Resolution 22 Deacons 24 The law is as stated at 1 January 2007. Whilst every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of this publication, it is for general guidance only and should not be treated as a substitute for specific advice. If you would like advice on any of the issues raised, please speak to one of the contacts named on page 24. Introduction Before 1978, China's economic policies were mainly aimed at self-reliance. As a result, the country was virtually shut off from world economic developments. In 1978, China opened its doors to foreign investment with the goal of modernising its economy and raising the living standard of its people. The country has since established the necessary legislative basis for foreign investment and has actively sought to acquire modern foreign management and technical skills. China adopted a Constitution in 1982 which has been amended various times since. The national legislative organ is the National People's Congress (NPC), which convenes annually for two weeks. When the NPC is not in session, its permanent organ, the Standing Committee, exercises most of its powers. The primary executive organs of state power are the President, who is the head of state, and the State Council being the government. The Chinese Communist Party remains the main political force in China and controls all appointments to key state organs.
