JOINT EDUCATION PROGRAM KICKS OFF

Chinese government officials, judges and entrepreneurs will come to the Bay Area this fall to receive training in U.S. intellectual property rights.
University of California-Berkeley officials and a Chinese delegation announced an agreement Tuesday to kick off the five-year program. A group of 20 Chinese will attend specially designed classes at Berkeley on American intellectual property and get hands-on training as ``interns'' at Bay Area law firms and U.S. courts. Preliminary plans call for instructors from UC-Berkeley to conduct larger training seminars in China in 2007.
The program was announced on the same day U.S. trade officials met with Chinese Vice Premier Wu Yi in Washington, D.C., and received promises to crack down on piracy of software, movies and other protected property. The Chinese also agreed to require computer manufacturers to install legal software on new machines. It's often been reported that as much as 95 percent of all software in China is pirated.
Chinese officials this week are on a goodwill and buying mission to pave the way for President Hu Jintao's visit next week. Chinese officials are reportedly here to buy $15 billion worth of American goods, a small dent in the $200 billion trade deficit with China.
In the Bay Area, there was excitement about the training program, which is being developed by the Center for Law and Technology at Boalt Hall School of Law. Both sides say they hope the program will foster dialogue and cooperation and enable Chinese and Americans to understand each other's perspective.
``This is a very positive signal that China's willing to learn and willing to change when it comes to intellectual property,'' said Jihong Sanderson, executive director of UC-Berkeley's Center for Research on Chinese & American Strategic Cooperation, which helped establish the program. ``The problems with IP in China you can't change overnight. You have to do it through education, collaboration and dialogue.''
