Patent is Lifang & Partners’ core practice area and traditional strength. Our expertise and fame in litigation come from handling hundreds of complex patent infringement and invalidation cases. This experience allows our patent litigation team to provide our clients with precise and effective litigation strategies. Even though most of the cases we handle involve complicated technology or complex legal issues, we maintain a high success ratio. Cases handled by Lifang & Partners are annually named “Top 10 Cases” by various courts and institutes. The Supreme People’s Court has designated several cases that Lifang & Partners handled as Guiding Cases for the reference of the lower courts. Lifang & Partners was officially approved to handle patent prosecutions by the State Intellectual Property Office in 2008. We are familiar with every aspect of patent law and apply a patent litigator’s mindset along with business operation thinking to patent prosecutions. We can foresee litigation risks and operational problems when designing patent protection strategies, drafting patent application documents, and responding to office actions. In addition to patent prosecutions, we also provide counselling for patent licensing transactions, conduct patentability analyses, and evaluate and manage corporate patent portfolios. Our Patent Attorneys are qualified to represent clients in fields such as electronics, food, medicine, chemistry, machinery, communications, computers, biotechnology, and others.
