About

Provided by Fangda Partners

Fangda has well-recognized expertise in intellectual property. We have successfully litigated many groundbreaking cases and have also advised on many of China’s leading transactions. We are the preferred choice of clients in many industries on patent, trademark, copyright, trade secrets and IP-related antitrust law matters.

We have successfully argued cases before provincial high courts and the PRC Supreme Court, making us one of the very few firms in China that has an established appellate litigation and advocacy practice.

We have also advised on domestic and cross-border transactions involving procurement, acquisition, assignment or license in technology, brands, patents, copyrights and other forms of IP. Such transactions include franchising, licensing, distribution, outsourcing, contract manufacturing, joint ventures, mergers & acquisitions, strategic alliances and technology research and development.

Our team members have strong backgrounds in various technical fields, enabling us to communicate with the clients on technical issues efficiently. We have former judges and patent examiners on our team, providing local expertise within a global context.

Our international reputation is attributed to the high quality of our services, the ingenuity of our strategies and the depth of our local knowledge we apply to tackle the most challenging IP issues.
