China and India will come to be economically dominant players on the world stage. Already, China is commonly referred to as "the world's manufacturing platform." India, meanwhile, has become a hot spot for high tech outsourcing, from software development and call centres to the digital transmission of medical images read by lower-paid Indian radiologists and beamed back to hospitals in Europe and the United States.

Although, the economy is ballooning in the world's two most populous countries, thanks to consumer spending, new foreign investment and fewer restrictions on markets. But the potential exporter may find big risks.

IPR Infringement:

Some Chinese and Indian companies, driven by short-term profitability needs (and in a pattern familiar from other countries at similar stages of rapid economic development), prefer to adopt a ‘shortcut’ route by launching products based (legally or illegally) on other people’s technology, rather than investing in the development of their own. In many cases this has resulted in immediate financial success, but it has also led to an increase in IPR disputes. The resulting long-term damage to corporate reputations affects not only small Chinese/Indian companies but also famous Chinese/Indian conglomerates.

Civil liability:

Accidents and disputes happen. Sometimes it is possible to minimise their consequences; sometimes it is not. That is what keeps litigation lawyers busy. China/India is like anywhere else in that respect, except that it is still developing mechanisms and laws for resolving disputes. In general, the laws and regulations are better established now to help the 'parties' in a dispute to reach a resolution. However, it remains the case that personal contacts - and guanxi - still play a major part in bringing disagreements to an early resolve.
