Lusheng Law Firm

Firm overview:

Lusheng’s lawyers are noted for their work on high-profile cases across trademarks, patents and, this year, plant variety rights. The Beijing-headquartered firm has a strategic partnership with Rouse, allowing it to meet clients’ needs in various jurisdictions and at various development stages.

Ranked as ‘Recommended’ in the non-contentious category, Lusheng provides services covering the whole patent chain, such as innovation mapping, capture, management, preservation, and deployment.

One client says Lusheng provided “the best kind of legal support—proactive, dedicated, passionate, professional and above all else commercial in their approach”.

The firm’s perseverance is exemplified in its defence of over ten invalidity challenges to a client’s patent covering a baby pushchair, which involved more than 30 prior art references but resulted in the patent being strengthened by the Patent Re-examination Board’s favourable decision.

Team overview:

Co-deputy head of dispute resolution Carol Wang was recognised as a 2024 WIPR Leader as well as in the Influential Women in IP list for this year. Wang has handled landmark cases in China and represented household-name brands from across the world in IP matters.
