Patent searches
Our services include non-infringement searches, patentability searches, utility model and short-term patent validity searches, and patent family searches. We also search application status and prosecution histories using applicant names, publication numbers, application or patent numbers, and invention or utility model titles.
Patent monitoring
We monitor patent publications, notify clients of potentially conflicting design patents and advise on challenges when clients consider action necessary.
Patent prosecution
We draft patent applications in Chinese and English, translate foreign-language documents into Chinese, and prepare filings in China—including PCT national phase entry—and abroad. We advise clients on office actions, prepare responses and review patent certificates.
Reexamination and invalidation
Our attorneys prepare and file requests for reexamination, draft written submissions in reexamination and invalidation proceedings, and represent clients at oral hearings.
