Litigation
Once a patent or trademark has been granted, the patentee
and trademark owner or the exclusive licensee has the right
to protect his interests either by requesting the administrative
authority to stop infringement,or to take a lawsuit before
courts in China.
However, no matter which option you adopt, patent or trademark
attorney is always the whole show, since only the favorable
interpretation of the claims can be the last line of defense.
Our patent attorneys are the right persons to be involved
in these matters. For one thing, the dual roles arguing against
examiners for application and confronting the invalidation
request of infringers build up their abundant experiences.
Secondly, the most important is our tenet that only forceful
protection is the supreme target for a patent. Team cooperation
for infringement case is also the forceful guarantee for patent
and trademark.
Regarding to the charges for services, we could only provided
the Normal Charges as other law firm in China. However, if
you have the idea to cooperate with Wang & Associates, please
kindly give us the offer, we would reply the reasonable acceptance.
