Notable practitioners
Jason Chen has considerable experience acting in contentious IP cases, especially matters involving patent infringements. He continues to represent clients in the semiconductor manufacturing sector. His expertise stems in part from his previous role as a district court judge.
I have a very positive impression of Jason Chen.
Simon Yu is a prominent litigator in Taiwan, focused on the areas of IP litigation, trade secret protection and commercial disputes. He works with a broad range of both domestic and international firms.
