IP Firms + Downturn = Training

Interesting piece of news posted on Australian legal site 'Practice Source'.  According to the article, Chinese intellectual property firms have begun investing more into training as the downturn begins to effect the industry.

"The slowdown in growth in patent filings in China has provided many IP firms with an ideal opportunity to improve their employees' skills.  In recent months, many firms in mainland China have increased their budgets to develop, nurture and retain their employees in an industry that continues to starve of talent".

It's great to see so many different industries continuing to invest in training despite having more challenging times upon us.
