ATLANTA, Oct. 2, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Tim Tingkang Xia, Ph. D., a partner in the Intellectual Property Practice and International Practice at Morris Manning & Martin LLP, has been invited to speak at the 2006 China Hi-Tech Fair, held at the Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center in China on October 14, 2006.
The Hi-Tech Fair has become one of the most influential events for technology companies in the Greater China area, as it provides a platform for companies around the world to showcase their technological achievements, identify collaboration partners and explore business opportunities.
High-tech companies, investment institutions interested in the high-tech sector and foreign companies with plans to expand their business in the China market are invited to the Fair. This year, a major theme relates to how a company should deal with intellectual property rights when it expands operations internationally. Dr. Xia will present on the topic titled, "Facing the Intellectual Property Litigation Challenge in the U.S."
"My primary goal," Dr. Xia said, "is to encourage international companies, in particular Chinese companies, to understand our legal system, respect the intellectual property rights of others, and protect their own intellectual property in the United States."
Dr. Xia counsels clients in all phases of intellectual property law, including U.S. and foreign patent, trademark and copyright prosecution, clearance, infringements, validity opinions, and licensing. His focus is primarily on patent prosecution and litigation in the areas of computers, electronics, optics, and new and complex technologies that are multi-disciplinary in nature, such as nanotechnologies, bioinformatics, supercomputing systems and superconductor materials and devices.
