對岸近年在國家政策獎勵下，商標有效註冊數量逼近1500萬件，所衍生的商標搶註、近似商標等問題，對西進台商的商標申請及權益維護形成不小挑戰。在專利方面，隨著企業擁有專利數量增加、業務觸角持續擴大，權益維護需求也逐年攀升，面對日益複雜的專利攻防，專利權人需要更多戰略思考。
Boosted by government policies, the number of valid registered trademarks in China grows fast and is now close to 15 million. That also brings along challenges such as trademark squatting, confusing similarity among other issues for trademark owners. As for patent prosecution and enforcement, any company with an expanded market reach or with an increase in patenting activities may find strategic thinking has become crucial in the face of the baffling complexity of patent protection.
冠群與隆天特別為此召開聯合講座，交流兩地近期相關法規與產業發展，對談內容涵蓋商標爭訟及指標判例、專利無效宣告程序比較、中國專利無效宣告理由的組合運用、侵權訴訟特點及應對等議題。
For these reasons, Top Team and Lung Tin jointly held a Cross-Strait seminar to share the industrial practices with each other. The presenters gave overviews of Trademark and Patent protection in China and Taiwan, shared typical invalidity and infringement cases and exchanged their winning tactics.
