Xiaodong Liu is a practicing attorney focusing on Trademarks matters.

Practice Focus

I convert complex Chinese procedure into a dated checklist with owners for translation, notarization, and internal sign-off across time zones. Practice Focus Where local counterparties rely on relationship pressure, I re-anchor discussions to contract text, statutory rights, and verifiable performance records.

Intellectual property protection in China includes trademark registration, patent filing, copyright enforcement, and trade secret protection. Xiaodong Liu helps clients develop IP strategies, handle infringement matters, and navigate the administrative and judicial enforcement systems.

Client Considerations

Client Considerations Foreign individuals and companies typically need three workstreams in parallel: factual chronology, authority paperwork, and remedy selection. This operating rhythm reduces repeat disputes and keeps institutional knowledge with the client rather than trapped in chat history. ⚖️ Written scope and remedy map📜 Bilingual document control🛡️ Deadline and limitation tracking💼 Enforcement and settlement options in parallel Cross-Border Coordination for Xiaodong LiuI document scope, assumptions, and decision rights at engagement start so foreign clients know what will be filed, who must approve, and when silence becomes a missed deadline.

Foreign companies should register trademarks and patents in China early, monitor for potential infringement, and establish evidence chains for enforcement through administrative complaints or court actions.
