1. Transforming Trade Secret Management: Managing Confidential Business Information as an Asset
This workshop will explore the realities and possibilities of managing knowhow, data, and other confidential business information as a commercially valuable asset. The first session will be descriptive, exploring how businesses currently use trade secrets to maintain a competitive advantage, to develop new products, and to collaborate with business partners. We will consider how law and business -- national legal systems and the current state of management practices -- affect how companies manage their trade secrets. The second session will consider what could be done to help businesses make better use of trade secrets. We will consider what changes in law and business practices could improve trade secret management and how best to implement such changes.

2. Intellectual Property as Gatekeeper in the Digital Economy
The topic for this workshop is Intellectual Property as gatekeeper in the Digital Economy. The presenters have been asked to think freely as to what “gatekeeper”, “digital economy” or even “intellectual property” could mean today and to connect it to one or more fields of IP law. Their presentations and roundtable discussions during this workshop will serve as an introduction to the Plenary session on Monday, September 24th (11:00-12:15) entitled The Digital Economy: What is the role for intellectual property?. Discussing questions regarding how IP law and its constructs affect the digital economy, the political economy and new technological solutions and innovation, the workshop invites participants interested in broader political, philosophical and theoretical questions that frame IP law.

3. Transformation of the Chinese Patent System
The Chinese government announced the “innovation-driven” development strategy to promote the economic and social development of the country in the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 2012. However, China faces a number of serious challenges in implementing the strategy. One of them is that IPR protection is inadequate and infringement is rampant. The Chinese government acknowledged this problem and pledged to implement “more stringent IPR protection”. The scheduled fourth amendments to the Patent Law and the establishment of the specialized IP courts in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou at the end of 2014 revealed that the Chinese government is indeed making serious efforts in the promised direction. In addition, China amended the Law on Promoting the Transformation of Scientific and Technological Achievements in October 2015, which was an important step in removing the barriers for technology transfer from academy to industry. In the workshop on the Chinese patent system, speakers from leading Chinese universities, law firms and companies are invited to discuss the latest development of the Chinese patent system and share their views on the implication of the transformation to domestic and international companies.

4. Capturing and Extracting Value from Data
With the increasing amount of data available and the emergence of advanced data analysis tools such as machine learning and big data analytics, data assets are becoming increasingly valuable to companies worldwide. Clear best practices as to how to best manage and capture the value of data, however, have yet to evolve.

This session will focus on the digital transformation of industrial firms in what is often termed, Industrial IoT or Industry 4.0. Different digitization perspectives will be explored including the transformation of products to digital services and the creation of IoT platforms, which will lead to new business models and IP strategies. The session will raise fundamental questions concerning how value will be created in Industrial IoT eco-systems, which actors are best positioned to extract value, and how access to IP will be managed in a way that incentivizes innovation and collaboration across the multiple technology layers. The case of autonomous driving will be explored from a technical, business, and regulatory perspective to illustrate the innovation challenges.

IP and Innovation Within China and Between China and the West – Key Impact Areas
This session is intended to provide an overview of the growing and evolving IP/innovation eco-system in China. The goal is to Identify the key factors in the China IP eco-system, and how they impact the creation and commercialization of IP within China and between China and the West, which will be further elaborated on in the following sessions.

Moderator: Damon Matteo, CEO, Fulcrum Strategy and CIP Advisory Board Member

• Luke Minford, CEO, Rouse

The Evolving IP Ecosystem in China
This session seeks to highlight the key aspects of the IP eco-system in China, the sources of impact, its evolution, and its misconceptions. In addition, the discussion will compare/contrast the developments in China with those abroad to offer the basis for establishing cross-border understanding (i.e. how to reconcile and operate effectively between the disparate IP regimes). Ideally, this will also render best approximations for what to expect in the future, both in terms of the China in-country IP regime, but also what to expect for cross-border activities.

Innovation Drivers in China from a Technology and IP Strategy Perspective
This session will illustrate the connection and interplay between technology strategy, business strategy, and IP strategy in China's world-view using examples of key technologies that China has decided to prioritize in the future. From this background, lessons about how to interact with the Chinese innovation economy in successful ways in general, and in particular with IP assets will be discussed. This session will also emphasize the time-domain and trajectory aspect where innovation progress, direction and advantage are destined to change rapidly as Chinese innovative ambitions grow both in the domestic market and markets abroad.

Moderator: Tim Smith, Principle, Rouse

Speakers:
• Fergal Clarke, Director, IP Business Analysis, Lenovo
• Prof. Frans Greidanus, Institute for Intellectual Property Management, School of Management, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China

Cross-Border Strategies and Business Models
This session is focused on developing an understanding of how to develop and execute IP-centric strategies for creating and capturing commercial value between the West and China. The session will focus on identifying common ground, obviating potential conflicts, and capturing synergies. In the spirit of not being able to function optimally in any one element of a value-chain, unless you understand all of the other linked elements, this session integrates of all of the preceding perspectives into one eco-system model. A model that attendees can use, modify, and extrapolate from to develop and execute their own strategies for creating and realizing IP value in the cross-border context.
