Eligon Intellectual Property

Overview

Eligon Intellectual Property (“Eligon”) is a boutique international firm recognized for its powerful combination of supply-chain, customs, and anti-counterfeiting enforcement expertise across China and Asia, together with its leadership in full-spectrum trademark strategy.

Founded by Managing Partner Amy Hsiao, a widely published thought leader frequently interviewed by the international press on China and global IP trends, Eligon’s team brings the sophistication of Big Law backgrounds without the Big Law price tag. With offices in the United States, Beijing, and Taipei, Eligon bridges legal, cultural, and commercial realities—offering Fortune 500 companies and emerging brands alike agile, business-first solutions to protect, scale, and monetise their IP across the world’s most complex markets.

What the Firm Is Known For

Eligon Intellectual Property is distinguished by its ability to turn complex, multi-jurisdictional IP challenges into practical, commercially measurable outcomes. The firm is especially recognized for its anti-counterfeiting, customs and supply-chain enforcement work across Asia, South America and Europe, combining strategic insight with on-the-ground execution in China, Taiwan and Southeast Asia.

Its trademark team manages portfolios from clearance to enforcement and has earned praise for clarity, responsiveness and business-minded advice. Clients routinely highlight the firm’s blend of Big Law pedigree, cultural fluency and boutique agility, describing Eligon as “the firm that tells you not only what’s happening, but exactly what to do next.”

Strengths

Clients and peers consistently commend Eligon for its clarity, commercial awareness, and execution speed. The firm’s advice is described as “laser-focused, business-minded, and actionable”, balancing legal precision with real-world pragmatism. Its cross-border coordination and knowledge of customs and e-commerce enforcement across China, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia are seen as best-in-class.

Eligon’s responsiveness and cultural fluency further set it apart. Corporate counsel at leading technology and consumer brands remark that “Eligon gives you the same calibre of work as a global firm, but with the agility and directness only a boutique can deliver.” The firm is also celebrated for its integrated international team—lawyers, paralegals, and investigators working seamlessly across time zones to deliver tangible, measurable results.

• Seagate Technology – Provided global trademark and brand-protection strategy praised by Raj Dhaliwal, Senior Corporate Counsel, who stated: “What sets Eligon apart is one simple thing: their emails—clear, concise, and actionable… It’s like working with a brilliant AI, but better—because every answer comes with expertise, competence, and a human touch.”
