		<title>Marketing Fear</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have never liked to use fear as a means of marketing my services.  Other lawyers, insurance companies, consultants &#8211; they do.  I came across this article in the South China Morning Post today and it irks me when I read this or hear about lawyers frightening their clients into retaining them or paying them.

		<title>Going to the Factory</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Do you remember your first visit to the factory or to the supplier or joint venture &#8220;partner&#8221;?  I saw this article in the Wall Street Journal this morning and the picture of Hillary Clinton smiling like a school girl made me laugh and remember my first time.  Everyone was smiling.  In fact, the Chinese are [...]]]></description>

		<title>Customs to the rescue</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Fake products in China are nothing new and I have been advising clients on protecting Intellectual Property matters for many years here. As I wrote in my previous blawg “Misconceptions about China” http://chntxlaw.com/2010/03/misconceptions-about-china/ “as more Chinese companies file for IP protection in China and in the West, and they have an expectation of enforcement and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Misconceptions about China</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My mother thinks that people in China still ride around on bicycles wearing those green army suits and green hats with the red star in the middle.  While there are still a lot of bicycles, especially in Beijing and Shanghai &#8211; where they are proud to wear their silk pajamas while riding their bicycles and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tastes like chicken</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Y&#8217;all know that Chinatex is from Texas.  Right down near the border in San Antone.  Well, in Texas we like dogs and we have dogs everywhere.  In fact, dogs are mans&#8217; best friend.  I don&#8217;t really agree with that one, but, i did have an old hound dog named Snoopy when i was a kid [...]]]></description>

		<title>Badmitten</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Of course i know i spelled it incorrectly, but the first time i spelled it i didn&#8217;t even know that it was spelled badminton.  Doesn&#8217;t make much sense as in Texas we always called it &#8220;badmitten&#8221;.  In fact we only played this game once every few years at family reunions and picnics and usually beer [...]]]></description>

		<title>The IP shoe is on the Google foot</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the country known for overt violations of intellectual property and where copying is not really considered unethical or taboo, it seems that the shoe of Intellectual Property is now on the other foot.
