Trade Mark
We are experienced in assisting our clients in identifying their trade marks, developing their trade mark portfolio, maintaining validity and enforceability, maximising protection and enforcing them to preserve the trademark owners' interests.
Patents
We help our clients in obtaining patent grants in Hong Kong and other countries. Patent licensing, revocation and enforcement is one area that we are always involved in when establishing and looking after IP portfolios for our clients' due diligence in mergers and acquisitions or other commercial transactions.
Design
Our clients often consult us as to the quickest way of protecting their products. We assist them in developing and pursing strategic and commercially viable measures in protecting their newly developed products without compromising any rights through disclosures.
Copyright
In response to clients' demands, we are experienced in discovering the often neglected copyrighted works subsisting in our clients' products. We also help our clients to protect and enforce their copyright locally and across the world.
Confidential Information
As the world's economy becomes more knowledge-based, trade secrets or confidential information demands more attention and protection.
We work with our clients to define their confidential information, developing systematic internal and external protection measures. We have succeeded in instigating criminal prosecution in China against our clients' ex-employees and competitors from misappropriation and abuse of our clients' confidential information.
Domain Name Registration and Dispute Resolution
We provide advice on domain name registration and dispute resolution in Hong Kong, China and other parts of Asia. Domain names are one important but often neglected intellectual property right. Due to its rather recent but rapid growth, domain name protection and disputes frequently arise and can have a substantial impact on a company's business development.
Internet-Related IP Issues
We offer internet-related legal support and advice to our clients such as website audits and internet surveillance. We have been successful in procuring various criminal investigations and prosecution by the relevant official authorities in Hong Kong and China.
Enforcement of IP Rights
An active part of our practice is enforcement of IP rights in Hong Kong and China. Owing to our knowledge of the industry, local culture and practice, extensive network and contacts, we are able to protect our clients' IP rights through efficient, effective and economical enforcement actions.
