On Apr. 22nd, 2016, following the lead of Yan Zhou, deputy secretary of the law school, 16 students participated in The 4th China (Shanghai) International Technology Fair 2016 (hereinafter referred to as CSITF 2016) as volunteers. This year, our school holds the rotating presidency of the Shanghai University Intellectual Property Rights Volunteers Association and the number of the participants from our school enrolling in CSITF 2016 peaked. 7 graduate students majoring in law and 9 undergraduate students majoring in international financial law and economics law took an active part in this activity. Many volunteers from other universities also took part in this activity.

China (Shanghai) International Technology Fair, which is approved by the State Council, co-hosted by Ministry of Commerce，Ministry of Science and Technology, State Intellectual Property Office and Shanghai Municipal Government, supported by UNIDO, UNDP and WIPO, and organized by China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Machinery and Electronic Products, Shanghai International Technology Exchange Center and Shanghai Eastbest & Lansheng International (Group) Co., Ltd, is a national-level professional fair specially for international technology trade. Teachers and students from law school have been involved in CSITF volunteer work since 2014. In order to do a good job in the volunteer work, all the teachers and students were trained by the association beforehand.

On Apr. 22nd, teachers and students from law school did a variety of volunteer work. In the morning, they served for the establishment ceremony and forum of Shanghai Intellectual Property Spin-out Business Alliance. At the afternoon, they served for Oral Hearing Meeting held by Patent Reexamination Board of SIPO and Press Conference on Patent Navigation and Analysis of Mobile Internet Industry. Apart from performing well in the volunteer work, the teachers and students also captured the opportunity to listen to the lectures delivered by the guest speakers from home and abroad. Professional Forums gathered senior participants from political policy makers, international R&D centers in various industries, multinational corporations, legal institutions and financing institutions, with themes of policy introduction, industrial technology areas, intellectual property protection, technology financing. The forums further interpreted government industrial policies, analyzed status quo and potential of technology development, explained market application prospects and elaborate professional services. As participants, the teachers and students had experience, exchanges and interactions from multiple perspectives. In combination with the legal knowledge they learned at school, the students broadened their horizons. Tired though they were, the teachers and students all enjoyed the great benefit of this volunteer work.
