Leading community on creativity, intellectual property & entrepreneurship in China, with reach across the globe …
Our Differentiation

IP First Society differentiates from others, since we view IP neutrally, multi-dimensionally, and industry-specifically, and practice IP in a business-oriented way against the global background.

- IP issues are emerging in China! – So, we offer A Neutral Platform for different voices!
IP development is called for both by China domestically but also by many foreign countries and internationals organizations. However, there’s no existing neutral platform for thought exchange across government agencies, business executives, research institutes and other relevant parties.

Therefore, standing as the first NGO initiative for China’s IP development, our community is an independent and neutral platform, encouraging various opinions in both on-line and off-line manners.

- IP is far beyond law! – So, we are forming A Diversified Community!
IP is not only a matter of law.　What underlies this IP regime is technology innovation, IP management, business strategy, industry trend, and even politics and international relations.

Therefore, we are gathering a diverse membership pool of highly-motivated and open-minded professionals, entrepreneurs, and thinkers from diversified areas, from law to business, from bio-tech to semiconductor, from IT solution to art design.

- IP is industry-specific! – So, we are setting Practical Industry Approaches!
IP issues vary dramatically from industries to industries.　IP is meaningful only when we go down to day-to-day practices of those IP-sensitive industries.

Therefore, we have initially set up four IPGs (industry practice groups), i.e., IT & Semiconductors IPG, Bio-tech & Pharmaceutical IPG, Media & Entertainment IPG, and Electronics & Consumer Goods IPG, and particularly focus on in-depth IPG-initiated projects/events.

- IP is the currency of the creative economy! – So, we are focused on Business Innovation!
IP contains huge potential depending on how you view & how you manage the same.　Manipulated appropriately, IP brings you real business and solid profitability.

Therefore, we are taking a practical and business-oriented approach, with our China IP Smart website and IP Smart magazine primarily focusing on IP enforcement, IP management, IP strategy, IP transactions, and the interplay of IP with venture capital, start-ups, and emerging industry trends.

- IP development calls for international cooperation! – So, we are armed with Global Perspectives!
IP development is not bound to any single nation given the rising global economy chain. For China in particular, advanced IP management and training from other developed countries will be highly helpful.

Therefore, we reach out and has made strategic alliance with several global partners based in leading countries (UK, US, and Singapore) to timely transfer their know-how and hands-on experience to our portal.
