Intellectual property rights are important assets of a company. Both preliminary protection and post actions against any IP infringement are critical to avoid loss or other unnecessary issues when these assets “appear” in another jurisdiction.

 

China is a member nation of many international treaties relating to IP registration and protection and is an integral part of the international IP protection mechanism under the WIPO umbrella. China has a set of comprehensive regulations and mechanisms to protect IPRs. In recent years, Chinese government plays more proactive role in enforcing IP laws in terms of administrative actions and other legal remedies due to its increasing R&D and technology export capacity.

 

As a country with one of the largest populations in the world, however, the market situation and shortage of resources in China could make IP protection more challenging and complex. We have seen many problems arise from clients’ ignorance of their IP protection planning or their failure in technology licensing execution. In today’s business world, technologies flow out and appear in other markets in many ways. Therefore, taking precautionary measures is essential to safeguard IP assets from being infringed in unfamiliar territories. Do not wait until it is too late.

 

We are experienced in handling complex legal issues related to IP assets, including patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, domains, e-commerce, licensing, IP transferring, infringement investigations, customs protections, and dispute resolutions. We have represented a wide range of clients in China and other countries in advising on IP registrations, transactions, litigations as well as related matters.
