With a strong IP practice across both contentious and non-contentious IP issues, Han Kun Law Offices is a key firm for clients requiring assistance with prosecution, litigation and enforcement of trade marks, patents and industrial designs. The group particularly stands out for its specialism in representing licensees against major standard essential patent (SEP) licensors in contentious ICT matters. The team handles domestic and cross-border litigation and offers experience in communicating with patent, trade mark and copyright offices for IP prosecution. Yan Wang spearheads the unit from Shanghai and is an expert in contentious IP matters, while co-lead Lili Wu sits in Beijing and manages IP portfolios primarily for tech clients. Co-lead Rui Luo is also based in Beijing and handles IP litigation and IP-related anti-monopoly disputes and co-head Wei He resides in Shenzhen and is experienced in advising multinational and domestic clients on copyright, trade mark and trade secret issues.
