China IP Road Show Follow-Up
We want to thank U.S. Rep. Mike Gallagher and his staff for moderating the CHINA IP ROAD SHOW in Green Bay. They presented strategies for protecting and enforcing intellectual property regarding China. The world embraced the China economy to support the Chinese people and secure lasting peace for the world. Unfortunately, the passage of the entry of China into the World Trade Organization has backfired at the expense of the Wisconsin and USA Manufacturing Industries.
