China is the global ground zero for counterfeit goods. We have extensive experience preparing and defending trademarks for the Chinese market and enforcing our clients’ rights against counterfeit Chinese goods found in the U.S.. Our team also includes a Chinese native fluent in Mandarin with a deep understanding of the region’s cultural nuances.
Robust trademark policing
We have a deep-rooted anti-counterfeiting and trademark watching program: Our associates monitor filings around the world, and our network of foreign agents assist with enforcement overseas. This proven process has allowed us to take down counterfeit products from major online retailers like eBay and Alibaba.
Clients also appreciate our efficient in-house management of large portfolios. The system allows them to visually audit the protection of different marks across different territories at any one time.
