In July 2026, Chang Tsi’s Founding Partner Spring Chang attended the 68th Series of Meetings of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Assemblies in Geneva, Switzerland, as an observer with the China Trademark Association delegation. As one of the most influential international platforms in the IP field, the WIPO Assemblies bring together representatives from IP offices, international organizations, industry associations, enterprises, and professional institutions from around the world to discuss global IP trends, international cooperation mechanisms, and innovation ecosystem development.

During the Assemblies, Spring Chang engaged with IP professionals and industry representatives from various jurisdictions on topics including global IP system developments, innovation protection trends, and international collaboration. She also participated in a dialogue session between WIPO Director General Daren Tang and representatives of non-governmental organizations, gaining deeper insights into the direction of global IP governance. Drawing on China's IP practice experience, she shared observations with international counterparts on how Chinese enterprises approach brand protection, innovation safeguarding, and global IP portfolio strategies.

Notably, Commissioner Shen Changyu of the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA), who led the Chinese government delegation to the Assemblies, was appointed as WIPO Deputy Director General during the meetings. This appointment reflects China's active engagement in international IP exchanges, its continued commitment to global IP cooperation, and the country's growing influence and voice in the global IP governance system.

As Chang Tsi’s Founding Partner, Spring Chang has long been dedicated to IP legal services, with extensive experience in global IP strategy, brand protection, dispute resolution, and international IP matters. She has maintained a close focus on global IP developments and actively participates in industry exchange activities organized by international platforms including WIPO, INTA, AIPLA, and AIPPI. She also serves as Chair of the China IP Issue Committee of the American Bar Association (ABA), working to promote dialogue and integration between Chinese IP practices and the international legal community.

In recent years, as globalization accelerates and innovation competition intensifies, IP protection has evolved from a standalone enforcement need into a strategic component of corporate innovation and business competitiveness. As a leading Chinese law firm with IP at its core, Chang Tsi & Partners places great emphasis on international exchange and cooperation. Through active participation in global IP platforms and cross-border industry dialogue, the firm continues to deliver high-quality IP legal services to a broad base of international clients.
