Please join the Digital Media in Asia Project April 19th 4-6PM in the Berkman Center conference room for Professor Bill Hennessey’s talk “Are there ‘Special Characteristics’ in Chinese IP Law?”
Bill Hennessey, Professor of Law and Chair of the IP Faculty at Franklin Pierce and Co-Director of the Intellectual Property Summer Institute at Tsinghua University School of Law since 2002, will talk about his experiences with IP policy makers in China since the “opening up” of the PRC in 1979, and offer some speculations about where China’s IP law and policy will be a decade or two from now. The second edition of Prof. Hennessey’s casebook, Int’l IP Law & Policy (with Dinwoodie and Perlmutter) will be published this summer by LexisNexis. He holds a Ph.D. in Chinese Language and Literature from Michigan.
