Striking IP Gold in the Russia–Eurasia Market: A Comprehensive Guide to IP Protection Strategies | Gorodissky & Partners Exclusive Session

As China–Russia trade surpasses USD 240 billion in 2024, and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) emerges as China’s fifth-largest trading partner, opportunities across the emerging Russian-speaking markets are growing rapidly.

This exclusive event will address the key legal and practical challenges faced by Chinese companies in the region. A senior-partner team from the firm’s Moscow headquarters will offer in-depth insights, drawn from decades of experience, to support Chinese IP professionals and corporate decision-makers in developing forward-looking strategies.
