Mike Bellamy knows his stuff (part 2)

For anyone thinking of doing business in China, please listen here for an excellent interview with PassageMaker founder Mike Bellamy. In this interview, he focuses on practical measures to protect your Intellectual Property (IP) when dealing with Chinese suppliers.

PassageMaker has years of experience protecting our clients’ IP, including filling Chinese patents and trademarks using our Endorsed Service Provider for legal services, Ms. Li Yan of the JunZeJun Law Firm. All of our core service offerings – Sourcing Feasibility Studies, Vendor Coordination, Assembly-Inspection-Packaging, Factory Formation – were developed with the primary goal of IP protection.

And don’t ignore protecting your design in your home market. For our American clients, we recommend Michael Mann and Todd Serbin of Nexsen|Pruet.

If you’ve spent the time and money to design the product, why would you not take every effort to protect it from theft? Contact PassageMaker and let us show you how to successfully and securely manufacture your product in China.

October is Global Sources Trade Show Month!

With the China National Day holiday behind us, the trade show season starts and Mike Bellamy will be in Hong Kong hosting Global Sources’ China Sourcing Fair’s Buyer Education Conference as well as holding separate seminars on issues of Vendor Coordination and Intellectual Property Protection. You can find information on Mike’s seminars here and here.

PassageMaker and China Quality Focus will also exhibit at the following booth #’s on the following dates:

10/12 to 10/15 PassageMaker booth 5B34

10/20 to 10/23 PassageMaker booth 10L38

If you are in the area, please attend a conference and visit our booth. Also, we encourage all clients to take a half a day and pop across the border to visit to our facilities in China. Seeing our offices and Assembly Center will be much more rewarding than a quick visit at the show. Let us know if you need assistance making travel arrangements, and hope to see you in Hong Kong!
