In light of the firm’s success within the APAC Legal Awards 2024, we speak to its Taiwan Patent Attorney, Yves (Yao-Hui) Chang to learn more. Li & Cai Intellectual Property Office sits under the umbrella of Li & Cai IP Group, which was established in 1985 and provides services of patent and trademark applications, registrations, patent portfolio management, patent map production, patent infringement analysis, counselling on the establishment of IP rights system for enterprises, copyright infringement analysis, and civil and criminal lawsuits related to IP rights infringement, licensing negotiations, and enforcement of IP rights. Over the decades, Li & Cai Intellectual Property Office has established itself as a trusted and professional service provider in global IP rights strategy and implementation. Its all-round “VIP” exclusive services assist each client in applying for patents in various countries all around the world according to their unique regulations. It strives to create a truly comprehensive and customised patent strategy for each client by listening to their individual needs and, afterwards, taking their feedback seriously. As a result, many of its clients have been returning to it for years, with the firm taking great pride in these long-term relationships. Yves shares how this is a result of having “a certain tacit understanding with them”. He enthuses, “Different clients may have different new case processes, OA processes, annual fee processes, licensing processes, and payment requisition and account cancellation processes – however, Li & Cai can provide customised administrative processes based on customer needs to maintain a win-win relationship for both parties and ensure a smooth cooperation process.” Specifically, within its Taiwan IP rights applications services, Li & Cai not only provides excellent quality patent drafting and professionalism, but it also organises education and training courses from time to time, as well as provides preliminary searches for IP cases or patent layout consultation during the R&D period. In terms of China IP rights applications, many of its colleagues are qualified as China patent attorneys and can provide immediate consultation services. Additionally, the firm has strategic alliance partners throughout the country to assist Taiwanese businesses with IP rights case services. This isn’t all, for the firm expanded its team to an American branch based in Washington in 2011. Ever since, its American lawyers/ certified patent attorneys have been translating, drafting, editing, and proofreading applications. This is then followed up with responses that facilitate discussion and communication with US patent examiners on applications, protecting customer rights by virtue of a one-stop service. Yves goes on to tell us how the most rewarding aspect of working in the legal sector is “becoming so familiar with the legal process”. He continues, “And when we interface with clients, listen to them, we can figure out how to make their invention better protected through IP rights. We are most proud of how we accumulate a lot of experience and partners to provide our clients with complete intellectual property services. We are confident that we can provide customised intellectual property services for clients in various fields. This is considered to be our greatest business achievement.” Ultimately, it is easy to see how Li & Cai Intellectual Property Office has become the go-to for so many businesses requiring IP property services, with its exceptional and comprehensive service offering brought to life by a highly expert, dedicated, and professional team. So, what does the future hold for the firm? Yves shares, “In the future, we plan to develop new clients and maintain relationships with existing clients by providing more quality services.
