    It has been two challenging years, yet there are many reasons to still have hope. We wish you a blessed Lunar New Year as we welcome the year of the Tiger. We wanted to highlight a few new developments in China. China has joined the Hague System for the International Registration of Industrial Designs, submitting its instrument of accession to the 1999 Geneva Act of the Hague Agreement on February 5, 2022.
