IPinfo & Laws Office

Nankai University is one of the famous Universities in China, once listed in TOP five Universities in China.

As a patent director, I built a patent team to deal with patent case clients. I also set up a ERP system for managing and following up patent cases, trademark cases, bills as well as payments.

Our Office is awarded as “High Qualified IP Office”.

As an in house IP counsel, I provides advice and proposals on how to reduce or eliminate IP infringements, how to plan the IP rights and how to protect Johnson Electric’s innovations.

ACIP Law Office is one of the largest IP offices in China.

STD Patent & Trademark Agent LTD is one of the largest IP offices in Guangdong Province of China.

I once published an article in a journal on whether Tencent infringes Microsoft, and on how to obtain global patent protection in cost effective way.  The article offers advice and proposal for individuals and companies to help them to make decisions on how to obtain patent protection, and help them to lower down the cost.

This article is listed as a cover story in the journal of “China Innovation and Patent”.

Patent examiners in SIPO usually think that a patent application does not involves inventive step since the skilled person could have arrived at the invention by limit test. I usually discuss with them and persuade  them to accept our opinions of that sometimes an invention do involves inventive step even if the skilled person could have arrived at the invention by limit test.

It’s like Chinese version of “could-would approach”.

With the designation of our office, I was once on behalf of a patentee before The Patent Re-examination Board in the case of 6W103802.

Based on a deep understanding of internet technology and digital technology, aws and regulations about evidence, I provided a counter-evidence and persuasive arguments. Finally, the notarized digital evidence  submitted by the other side has not been adopted.

Beijing Intermediate People’s Court (first instance), Beijing Higher People’s Court (second instance) have made a judgment / ruling in favor of us.

Our firm has been concerned about the laws and regulations of China’s intellectual property laws and regulations, and actively involved in the relevant process, and has been actively collecting, feedback of various proposals.

The existing system only allows the patentee and the interested party to request the State Intellectual Property Office (SIPO) to make a patent evaluation report. Our firm recommends that any person should be allowed to request the SIPO to make a patent evaluation report.  This  proposal is likely to be accepted and is likely to appear in future patent laws or patent regulations.
