Mark Cohen (Berkeley Center Law & Technology Asia IP Project)

Mark Cohen, Director and Senior Fellow at UC Berkeley, and the expert responsible for starting intellectual property (IP) dialogue with China since the Obama administration, discuss the weaponization of IP with China during under Trump, and how it poses risks and opportunities to the Biden administration. IP accounted for a fifth of the U.S.-China phase one trade agreement signed in the beginning of 2020, covering a wide IP landscape, with provisions on trade secrets, trademarks, patents, geographical indications, e-commerce infringement, and enforcement against pirated and counterfeit goods. This webinar will be moderated by GPS professor Barry Naughton.
