The Firm keeps continuous follow-up on cutting-edge industries (including artificial intelligence, blockchain technology, semiconductor chips, biomedicine, and new energy technology). The extensive experience of the Liu Shen team in patent litigation also enables our patent attorneys to draft patent applications in a more comprehensive and secure manner to protect clients' rights and interests.

In addition to domestic patent application services, the Liu Shen team assists Chinese enterprises in handling patent applications in over 40 countries and regions (including Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan regions, Europe, the United States, Japan, South Korea, India, South America, Africa, and Southeast Asia). Liu Shen's patent team is familiar with the patent laws of major jurisdictions and their similarities and differences with Chinese patent law, enabling them to provide clients with legal opinions on patent matters in other countries. Liu Shen has accumulated experience in over 10,000 foreign patent applications to date and has established a comprehensive overseas application management workflow. Through its unique cooperation model with foreign law firms (Liu Shen undertakes substantive analysis, while foreign firms handle procedural work), Liu Shen helps Chinese enterprises significantly reduce the cost of overseas patent applications while ensuring the quality of patents granted abroad.
