2011-03-08
In line with the firm's overall development strategy, Han Kun will expand its present intellectual property and dispute resolution practice. To this end, Han Kun has integrated intellectual property and dispute resolution resources, expanded existing practice areas, attracted experienced lawyers Shizhan Guo and Eric Liu to join the working group. After the re-integration, Han Kun has enhanced its competitiveness in the field of intellectual property and dispute resolution.
The expanded intellectual property practice of Han Kun will include intellectual property planning, intellectual property procurement, intellectual property management, intellectual property transactions and due diligence as well as intellectual property protection and dispute resolution. Intellectual property planning is to develop a comprehensive protection system for intellectual property rights holders, effectively safeguarding their legitimate rights and interests through a strategic overall protection system against infringement. Moreover, as one of the highlights in Han Kun intellectual property protection practice, protection through criminal procedure will provide the most effective remedy to intellectual property right holders by imposing the severest criminal sanctions on infringement.
Considering that precaution is better than remedy, in addition to expanding the scope of traditional dispute resolution practices such as litigation and arbitration, Han Kun has designed a risk control mechanism for enterprises based on risk assessment and management to reduce legal risks in business operations. The risk control mechanism allows companies to effectively minimize or even avoid legal risks arising from business operations, and is particularly useful to foreign enterprises and organizations unfamiliar with the administration system and market environment in China.
Han Kun will continue to pay close attention to the demands of companies arising from enterprise development and commercial activities and steadily expand the scope of related business in order to provide customers with comprehensive and high quality legal services.
