Intellectual & Industrial Property Specialists
At RBJL, we provide our clients with the guidance they need to navigate the complex legal landscape where intellectual property interests clash with unscrupulous industrial copying and technical ingenuity. In 2012, we established our wholly owned intellectual property agency, Robin Bridge & John Liu (Beijing) Intellectual Property Agency Limited, which allows us to offer direct registration and enforcement services tailored to the specific needs of our clients.
We assist clients with all aspects of IP acquisition, exploitation, and enforcement. Our particular strengths lie in industries such as art, fashion and accessories, watches, jewellery, entertainment, pharmaceuticals, toys, infant products, mobile games, and telecommunications. Over the years, we have represented numerous overseas, multi-national, and local companies in relation to their intellectual property matters, including one of the three largest luxury goods companies in the world, supporting them in their efforts to craft the future.
We are also proud to represent a Hong Kong-based and world-renowned creative studio in launching gigantic art-related projects around the world, issuing NFTs, and collaborating with international streaming services to produce figurines and memorabilia of characters from popular TV dramas.
Our experience and expertise in these areas allow us to provide our clients with comprehensive and effective legal representation, tailored to their specific needs
