Intellectual Property The inflow of foreign direct investment brings into China not only capital and advanced management skills, but also the intangible assets of the foreign investor: patent, trademark, copy right, trade name, domain name as well as trade secret. How to protect the intellectual property assets becomes a crucial issue to foreign investors. Chinese companies that make investments overseas also realize the importance of intellectual property protection. To conform to China's obligation under WTO documents, China has amended and re-promulgated its Trademark Law on August 25, 2000, Copyright Law and Trademark Law on October 27, 2001. Our attorneys will update client with the current laws and regulations so as to insure client's Intellectual property protection from legal compliance prospective. With affiliated attorneys both in US and China who are specialized in and qualified to Intellectual property law practice in respective country, we are able to prepare and file applications for patent, trademark, copy right and domain name registration with relevant China and US government registration authorities. Our intellectual property team is familiar with the registration requirement and procedures therefore we are able to proceed and monitor the application procedure efficiently. Backed with our litigation team, we are experienced in bringing intellectual property infringement lawsuit at appropriate court, both in China and in US, and helping to enforce such judgment. In China, other than litigation, we can file petition with State Administration for Industry and Commerce for unfair competition regarding trade name and trade secret infringement cases.
