Making the most of your intellectual property (IP) assets in Hong Kong and Mainland China
Our lawyers’ deep knowledge of the local market helps our clients to protect and develop their IP assets in this crucial region.
You don’t need to be told that safeguarding and exploiting your IP assets can be crucial to maintaining a competitive edge. At Deacons, our IP lawyers understand what is at stake and have the experience to help you to get the most from your IP assets.
Don’t just take our word for it. Consistent top-band rankings for IP in independent legal directories including Chambers Global, Chambers Asia-Pacific, Legal 500 Asia Pacific and Managing Intellectual Property; winners of major awards; as well as our track record of leading cases and industry “firsts” speak for themselves. As Hong Kong’s largest and longest-established IP practice, we are proud to be representing and maintaining the city’s oldest trade mark which was registered in 1874, as well as making its first ever e-filings of trade mark, patent and design applications.
Today, we work with a vast majority of the world’s largest brands in the electronics, telecoms, pharmaceuticals, fashion, luxury goods, media and entertainment, internet, software and computer hardware industries – represented almost all of the 100 Best Global Brands as identified by Interbrand PLC – so you can be confident that in trusting Deacons you are in excellent company.
Our experienced team of IP lawyers, many with technical and scientific backgrounds, offers a seamless service from our offices in Hong Kong and Mainland China, covering all areas of contentious and non-contentious IP work across Hong Kong, Mainland China and internationally.
Scope of Services:
We also have an impressive record of success in litigation and enforcement actions and leading cases both in court and arbitration in Hong Kong and Mainland China. The Deacons (Beijing) Intellectual Property Agency, which was founded in 2013 under the sole ownership of Deacons, works closely with the team in Hong Kong to provide a seamless service and cross-border strategies to clients wishing to establish and strengthen their businesses in Mainland China.
