Chinese IP, Technology, and Antitrust Experts DBL’s attorneys are experts in the Chinese market and intellectual property law at large. We assist companies of all sizes in understanding and leveraging Chinese technology and China’s huge manufacturing market. Whether you need help with business, technology, law, or finance, Dunlap, Bennett, & Ludwig can guide you through the dynamic but uncertain Chinese market. DBL, unlike other foreign law firms, can directly help our clients through 北京思韬知识产权代理有限公司, our affiliated firm, based in Beijing. We also assist Chinese companies with their legal and IP needs outside China. Our lawyers represent our clients in Chinese courts, at the Chinese National Intellectual Property Administration, and in transactions. Unlike other firms, DBL does not outsource its work to local firms. This allows us to achieve goals for our clients that other firms cannot. We have achieved multiple multi-million dollar settlements for foreign clients even before having to file a lawsuit. We recently won multiple disputes for European and American companies at the Patent Reexamination Board against top Chinese technology companies Oppo and Vivo. Our Team •• Successfully overturned invalidation of the Pfizer patent covering the Viagra® decision. •• Obtained a permanent injunction + damages for Epson in a patent infringement lawsuit. •• Successfully defended Seagate from alleged infringement by an NPE and invalidated the asserted patent. •• Successfully defended Power Integrations against Fairchild Semiconductor’s patent infringement lawsuit; partially invalidated the asserted patents and avoided a claim of RMB120 million (~USD19 million).
