Turid Buvik is Senior Advisor for IPR at Innovation Norway. She explains why bringing your patent portfolio from home is not enough. Owning a patent does not automatically give you freedom to operate in China. She covers the strict first-to-file principle, the 3.2 million utility models granted without substantive examination, and penalty levels roughly five times what we are used to. She also goes through NNN agreements and the new Foreign Trade Law of 2026.
