As a market-leading IP team in China, we have represented clients in a wide range of high-profile and landmark IP cases in China and abroad. In the Chinese market, we not only help clients resolve IP disputes and safeguard their rights and interests, we are also part of the national efforts to build a comprehensive IP protection system for the advancement of the national innovation-driven development strategy. On the international front, we have taken on numerous projects under the Belt and Road Initiative and advised multinational companies on strategic IP protection plans, which demonstrates our dedication to fostering cooperation on an equal footing and fair competition in the global IP market.

Our IP team boasts an extensive bench of prominent practitioners with both technical background and industrial experience, including former judges and CNIPA (i.e., China National Intellectual Property Administration) patent examiners who have many years’ trial or patent examination experience. The depth of our expertise enables us to provide comprehensive IP protection services to our clients and bolsters our leading position in numerous respectable rankings in the IP area both in China and abroad for many consecutive years. Our firm was ranked Tier 1 in intellectual property (both litigation and non-litigation) in the 2023 ranking by The Legal 500 and won the title of a top tier IP law firm in the ALB China awards for many years in a row, including 2022. Our IP practices and IP lawyers have also been highly recommended by Chambers for years in succession. Additionally, many of the cases we have handled over these years were selected for inclusion in the annual lists of the“Top 10 IP Cases in Chinese Courts” and “50 Typical Representative Cases”.
