As a partner in our Intellectual Property group in Beijing, I provide tri-lingual advice on both contentious and non-contentious IP matters, working particularly closely with our Japanese clients.
One of the chief difficulties in patent infringement proceedings involving chemical materials is that the physical and chemical properties, microstructure, and components of compounds and materials cannot be directly observed or distinguished by using the naked eye, and so it is therefore usually necessary to use special testing instruments, and for technical interpretation to be performed by professionals, in order for judicial organs to be able to ascertain infringement from the legal perspective.
