Comment on Outstanding Individuals by WTR 

The fulcrum of the outfit is founding partner Spring Chang and Simon Tsi, who are widely recognised as the top trademark lawyers in the country. The couple spearheads this market-leading brand protection practice with greatest possible delicacy and precision. Chang takes on the prosecution and anti-counterfeiting matters while Tsi sets his sights on the contentious front. Nancy Qu is a formidable IP litigator and has tackled multiple highly complex and technical IP infringement cases before courts in her years with the outfit. Well versed in meeting both prosecution and contentious demands, partner Michael Fu takes charge of multiple IP enforcement and protection strategy matters for a stellar roster of Fortune 500 players, including HP, Under Armour, Michael Kors, Tiffany and Four Seasons. Working alongside him in the trademark department are Ason Zhang, Runjun Sun and Lilian Qiu. Elevated to the partner level recently, Zhang exhibits a wide range of interests in the IP field. He focuses on the electronics, pharmaceuticals and jewellery sectors and his practice extends to domain names, unfair competition and dispute resolution. Trademark agent Sun knows all the drills of a successful trademark application and is equally proficient at review of refusal, opposition and invalidation. Qiu is the one to call when you need one-stop legal services in China. She has garnered praises from service users and peers for her holistic IP strategy and brand protectionpractice.
