A key part of the firm’s global IP offering, the firm’s China IP practice focuses on assisting multinational companies with their inbound disputes, as well as their IP transactions and China portfolio strategies. It also represents Chinese companies in outbound litigation. The firm can additionally leverage its own fully-licensed, domestic IP agency in China, which provides a wide range of IP services. The practice is co-led by Hong Kong-based Haifeng Huang, whose broad practice encompasses disputes and transactions involving patents, trade marks, copyright, trade secrets, and technology licences; and Anthony Chen in Shanghai, who advises pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies on China’s pharmaceutical patent linkage system.
