Partner, Bird & Bird

I am an IP partner at Bird & Bird China.  Our firm has a leading team of lawyers who are experienced with standard essential patent litigations and are familiar with issues in FRAND valuation, ASI, infringement and invalidation proceedings.  We have handled some of the biggest SEP lawsuits in China in the past decade.  We also have experience in co-ordinating a number of cross-border, high value disputes involving multiple jurisdictions across the APAC countries, Europe, and the United States.

I also have a broad IP practice in assisting companies to protect their valuable innovations in the form of copyright, data rights, goodwill, trademark, design, as well as utility models and invention patents. I have worked with companies from a wide range of sectors including semiconductor, software, healthcare, chemicals, consumer and retail, and industrial machineries. One unique factor that distinguishes Bird & Bird is that most of our team members have science backgrounds and are certainly not afraid to dive deep into tech.

Our cases achieved results which exceed client expectations, including obtaining landmark damages and preliminary injunctions, and overturning decision when the client came to us on appeal. Apart from advising on litigation strategies, I also guide companies through other ways of monetarising their innovations via tech deals and licensing transactions.
