Professor Sir Robin Jacob, Sir Hugh Laddie Professor of Intellectual Property Law at UCL Laws and Director of the UCL Institute of Brand and Innovation Law, was in China last week, where he was invited to speak two events - the first in Shanghai and the second in Beijing. 

In Shanghai, Professor Jacob was hosted by East China University of Political Science and Law (ECUPL), which was founded in 1952, making it is among the first group of politics and law universities established by the People's Republic of China. He was invited to present in the ECUPL Oriental Pearl Lecture Series, and spoke (see photo below) on the real-world complexities of standard essential patents (SEPs).
