Trademark litigator Gang Hu is a key name at the firm and was the lead partner on several cases during the research period.
The firm kept busy representing HC Semitek, one of the largest LED companies in China, in defending an Rmb40 million ($5.5 million) lawsuit filed by San’an Optoelectronics before the Changsha Intermediate People’s Court for patent infringement. This lawsuit between the two largest LED companies in China will have a great influence in the industry and has attracted considerable attention. Another marquee matter had the firm represent Canon in a patent infringement lawsuit involving four defendants who conducted suspected infringing acts as co-manufacturers and co-sellers. The firm also represented video-coding company Xylene Holding in a series of eight patent invalidation cases.
The firm’s recent client roster includes Blue Sky Innovation Group, Grundfos, Julius Blum and Mercedes-Benz Group.
