In recent years, Chinese cross-border enterprises have demonstrated strong competitiveness in the international market, but opportunities and challenges coexist. Many enterprises are deeply involved in intellectual property disputes overseas, and the issue of overseas intellectual property compliance has also attracted increasing attention.
On November 6th, guided by the Longhua Regulatory Bureau of the Shenzhen Market Supervision Bureau and the Longhua District Bureau of Commerce, the Longhua District Intellectual Property Service Center, the Shenzhen Intellectual Property Finance Association, and ScienBiziP jointly organized the “Cross border Intellectual Property Disputes and Compliance High level Seminar” at the Longhua District Intellectual Property Service Center.
Li Gongke, the head of the Intellectual Property Department of Longhua Regulatory Bureau of Shenzhen Market Supervision Bureau, delivered a speech at the event. He stated that Longhua has a large number of cross-border enterprises, rich product types, and global business. However, when dealing with overseas intellectual property disputes, there are still problems such as long litigation chains and high difficulty in safeguarding rights. This seminar is based on the hot topics of concern for cross-border enterprises, hoping to help them improve their overseas intellectual property practices and provide “escort” for the development of overseas business.
As the organizer of this seminar, the core team of ScienBiziP has been engaged in intellectual property business in the United States since 1985. In recent years, they have also provided one-stop services for cross-border e-commerce and overseas enterprises in intellectual property application, infringement, and rights protection. In this seminar, two senior experts from ScienBiziP US firm brought their in-depth sharing.
Chen Hua, a partner and practicing lawyer at ScienBiziP USA, brings a themed sharing on “Strategies for Intellectual Property Disputes in the United States for Chinese Cross border Enterprises”. Lawyer Chen Hua has over 20 years of experience in US patent and trademark litigation. He has served as the Chief US Legal Advisor for Fortune 500 multinational corporations and a litigation lawyer for internationally renowned law firms. He specializes in high-risk patent litigation, technology licensing, and providing clients with intellectual property strategy consulting. He started from the basic procedures and concepts of intellectual property litigation in the United States, and based on multiple practical cases, comprehensively explained the different types, dispute resolution paths, and litigation points of cross-border enterprise intellectual property disputes. Combined with various factors such as case situations, costs, and timing, he provided diversified dispute resolution strategies.
Liao Qingfeng, the registered patent agent of ScienBiziP USA, brings a presentation on the theme of “Compliance Requirements for Intellectual Property Applications in the United States”. Mr. Liao Qingfeng has nearly 10 years of experience in US patent application and US patent examination affairs. He is skilled in analyzing existing technologies for high-value patents, preparing and submitting temporary/non temporary patent applications and defenses, as well as providing clients with patent lifecycle solutions. He started with the recent hot event of the US Patent Office cracking down on “abnormal” patents, and systematically explained the differences between US patent inventors and applicants, as well as the substantive rules of patent applications. He specifically reminds that in order to avoid touching the “fraudulent behavior” red line of the US Patent Office, the rights holder should adhere to the principle of good faith and ensure that the relevant application documents are legal and compliant.
Guo Liang, Deputy Secretary General of the Shenzhen Intellectual Property Finance Association, gave a keynote speech on “Exploration and Practice of Intellectual Property Pledge Financing”. He explained the policy background, application methods, and application process of intellectual property pledge financing, and provided a detailed introduction to the development and future prospects of Shenzhen’s pledge financing business in recent years.
Intellectual property litigation is both a defensive measure and an offensive strategy. Cross border enterprises should closely monitor the intellectual property policies of the target countries/regions when exploring overseas markets. When laying out patents, trademarks, and dealing with intellectual property disputes, they should pay attention to choosing professional agencies with legal qualifications in order to better transform their technological innovations into commercial advantages and help enterprises achieve high-quality development.
