Analysis of Risk Prevention Measures for Intellectual Property Rights of Chinese Enterprises Going Overseas: Taking the Phenomenon of Trademark Registration in ASEAN Countries as an Example
With China's economic development and the promotion of the "the Belt and Road" initiative, more and more enterprises have begun to go abroad to explore overseas markets. Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Indonesia, and other member countries of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), as close neighbors of China, have abundant natural and labor resources, huge market potential, and have become important destinations for Chinese enterprises to go global. In 2023, bilateral trade between China and ASEAN will continue to grow, with a scale of 6.41 trillion yuan. ASEAN has maintained its position as China's largest trading partner for four consecutive years, and China has also been ASEAN's largest trading partner for many consecutive years. Southeast Asian countries are important regions for Chinese companies to apply for trademarks overseas. According to data statistics from FOVEA IP (a large online database of intellectual property that provides services such as data collection, online search, and custom reports), the number of trademark applications filed by Chinese companies in Southeast Asia from 2021 to 2023 was 23215, 23538, and 29778, respectively, showing an increasing trend year by year.
