Intellectual Property in China

A premier and top-ranked practice group, we have played an instrumental role in helping both local and multinational clients realize the true value of their IP portfolio in Hong Kong, China and across the globe.

We represent owners of many of the world’s best known trademarks and brand names — assisting them in all aspects of their IP portfolio management, including acquisition, protection, enforcement and exploitation of intellectual property rights, as well as franchising and licensing agreements and related regulatory matters. Acting for both users and many of the leading providers of intellectual property, information technology and communications products and services, we help clients across borders, focusing on multijurisdictional IP portfolio management and enforcement.

We are also active in lobbying on intellectual property matters through our involvement in various global and regional industry associations, including the International Trademark Association, the International Anti-Counterfeiting Coalition, the Quality Brands Protection Committee and others. We routinely assist clients in preparing draft submissions to the Chinese government, the EU, USTR and others on the need for changes in existing laws, regulations and policies.
