The European Union Delegation to China, Treaty & Law Department of the Ministry of Commerce of China (MOFCOM), Xiamen University, and IP Key organized an “EU-China Innovation Policies” roundtable on December 9th 2016 at Xiamen University in Xiamen, China. The roundtable enabled a select group of policymakers and academics from China and the EU to share experiences about how to craft optimal IP-related innovation policies and laws. Specific areas of policy and law were selected based upon past IP Key activities, including:

·    IP-restrictions in government-funded research

·    Technology import and export rules

·    Intersection of anti-trust, standards, and IP

·    IP-conditioned government incentives
