The China Intellectual Property Summer Institute at Tsinghua University School of Law, Beijing which started in 2002, is a natural extension of the Intellectual Property Summer Institute which has been held at Pierce Law every summer since 1987.

Tsinghua University, the premier institution of science and technology in China, established its School of Law in 1999 in a new facility at the center of the Tsinghua campus in northwest Beijing, the site of the former Imperial Gardens of the Qing dynasty princes. The location is very convenient to Beijing International Airport.
