Comments on Lung Tin by IAM 1000:

 

As one of the legacy IP practices in China, Lung Tin has represented the interests of numerous overseas patent applicants since the inauguration of the Chinese patent system. Today, its strong international outlook is complemented with a formidable domestic filing practice, attracting instructions from big names such as OPPO and China Telecom. Spearheading an elite group of patent attorneys is IP maven Qinghong Xu, who is dual qualified in the United States and China, and who relies on her chemistry PhD to dispense optimal IP prosecution strategies. Next to her is Yan Huang, whose practice encompasses everything from drafting, invalidity and due diligence to litigation and freedom-to-operate investigation. An electronic engineer by trade, Jacob Siyue Zhang nimbly operates on both sides of the contentious/non-contentious divide; while several of his contentious endeavours have been selected as annual top 10 cases by the Supreme People’s Court of China.
