We spend a fair amount of time working with clients either in China or going in to China so I’m always interested to review books on the topic.

So it’s refreshing to see a pragmatic, insightful book on the topic with an intellectual property focus.

Lei Mei‘s –  Conducting Business in China (Oxford University Press 2012) is just such a book.  It’s easy to read and packed with practical insight from the author’s personal experience.  Insights span cultural, relationship, business and intellectual property and add up to a very useful introduction to doing business in China.

Lei Mei has also helpfully added relevant IP legislation as appendices to the book.

This one is now on my recommendations list.
