We understand the law and its context through years of study and practice. We also actively participate in the policy process for the development of laws. Since its creation, the firm has been closely associated with the legislative progress of Chinese IP laws and regulations. It continues to play an active role in the improvement of the Chinese legal and regulatory environment. We are involved in the processes for revising the trademark law, patent law, copyright law, anti-unfair competition law, and relevant judicial interpretations through submission of our comments to draft laws and organizing platforms for discussion and communicating with authorities responsible for policy development.

We are not scholars of law but its practitioners with practical legal issues in mind. Our active involvement in policy and law developments gives us good sense on the direction of the laws and equips our professionals with insights that can be critical for protecting the interests of our clients. We also have the pulse on the application of the law in context through thousands of cases before courts and administrative agencies.

We embrace and keep up with innovation and advancement of technology. For years, we have invested heavily into technology. We have our own IT system that can be tailored to our needs and adoptive to third party systems. We invest in an engineer team solely working for us to build automation and machine learning functionalities into lawyers’ workflow. All the case files are now managed online by the firm’s system. Our goal is to further develop machine learning to assist lawyers with their daily work as well as clients in their need to access information on their matters. We are also experimenting the application of artificial intelligence. We are exercising great care as information security of our clients is of paramount importance to us.

We believe this mix of legal and technical expertise and result-oriented practical approach has been critical to our past success and is the constant among the dynamic changes we will keep as we launch into the future.
