SFKS collaborated with a law firm in US in the recent success in resolving an intellectual property claim concerning a multinational corporate.

The dispute involves the multinational corporate suing, amongst others, a former key person at its Hong Kong office for allegedly infringing copyrights and divulging trade secrets. As the underlying agreement is governed by Delaware law, we assisted our client in instructing Delaware lawyer within our International Lawyers Network (ILN), and provided legal support to the Delaware lawyer in acting in the US proceedings, providing advice and engaging in out-of-court negotiations, as well as close attendance throughout.

SFKS has a long history of strength and experience in contentious and non-contentious intellectual property practice. Back in 1997, SFKS filed Hong Kong’s first registered design, first short-term patent, and first standard patent applications. SFKS advises on initial strategising, branding, drafting, filing, prosecution, opposition and revocation of intellectual property rights. As an all-service law firm, and blending our intellectual property practice and dispute resolution expertise, SFKS is well-positioned to assist in IP disputes as well.

IP disputes are often cross-jurisdictional in nature.
