We are pleased to share with all colleagues that in consideration of the professional performance in IP right protection during the year 2020/2021, we at HONGFANGLAW (HFL) have been awarded the above recognitions.

We are so honored to be trusted by our clients and blessed to have such a great team and that everyone in the firm works hard for the same goal. While we approach the year 2022 with a new resolution and with the hope of achieving even greater objectives, it is good to review our past achievements and recognitions.

The more we practice in IP the better we become at protecting our client’s rights.

The years 2020 and 2021, were a busy period for the team and we had a few successful litigations and significant enforcement cases, especially in the fields of trademark and copyright. As we previously shared in March and April, a few cases have been selected as part of the top practices in litigation and enforcement in Chinese courts, it is always encouraging to see our practice become better in time. We look forward to the continuative cooperation with all involved organizations and entities to maximize the legal protection of the brand owners and stakeholders.
