China Patent Agent (HK) is an intellectual property boutique with offices in Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen, as well as other countries. It provides a full range of IP services to its clients, with expertise in drafting, filing, prosecution, litigation, mediation, licensing, assignment and counselling in the areas of patents, trademarks, copyright, domain names and anti-unfair competition. The firm is one of the oldest and largest IP litigation firms in China.
IP specialists Yuhe Wu, Jingchao Wang and Yanfeng Xiong are key names in the firm.
One recent firm highlight blends elements of intellectual property and biopharmaceutical expertise. On behalf of Erasmus University Medical Center Rotterdam, a Dutch university, and Roger Kingdon Craig, a UK scientist, the team won a favourable second instance judgment from the IP tribunal of the Supreme Court. The case was a hard battle to fight, as very few cases to date have been able to overturn the China National Intellectual Property Administration’s re-examination decisions in patent administrative litigation.
The firm also acted for Darwin Technologies, a European manufacturing company that
won its case over an indirect patent infringement in Beijing Higher People's Court. The victory in this case received great attention because Chinese courts rarely support indirect infringement. In addition, the judgment element of aiding infringement has developed greatly in recent years. The entire litigation lasted for six years and witnessed changes in the rules for the establishment of aiding infringement during this period. This case has reference value for future similar cases.
Key clients for the firm include Darwin Technology International, Honeywell International, Intel, KPN and Powertech Industrial.
