Attended a reception for Mayor of Shenzhen, China ysday. He was accompanied by a business delegation from Longgang District. Very modern infrastructure looking for next round of investments. It is interesting that he was emphasizing protection of IP in his speech, also had a white paper. Chinese clearly know that IP is their Achilles heel. If they don’t act soon, their competitive advantage will be taken away by India who while having an imperfect system, have a much stronger prosecution initiative. Laws on books don’t do much unless they can be enforced. I will be doing a paper on IP in China sometime next year when I kick-off a series on Intellectual Property and Innovation.

On Thursday, we welcome a high-level delegation from Korean IT Community. Wireless industry will be well represented by KTF and others. More on this later in the week.
