2026

"Strong strategic thinking combined with very solid technical execution. The team is responsive, clear in their advice, and pragmatic in managing risk, costs and timelines. They anticipate issues early, communicate developments promptly, and are reliable under pressure."

"Efficient, well-organised and consistent. They keep matters moving, provide clear options when actions are needed, and are very dependable on deadlines and formalities. Their reporting is easy to follow and they are proactive in flagging opportunities to streamline portfolios."

"Practical, business-oriented advice that is easy to implement. They translate complex points into clear recommendations, with a good sense of commercial priorities. They are thorough without being academic, and they are very good at identifying workable solutions."

"I always feel that all IP March attorneys do take the time to put the sufficient effort into each task to make it very productive to both them and us. The right effort put on each task minimizes the number of exchanges needed to complete the task to almost null. They recommend, we approve."

Case studies show the firm conducted a search and drafted more than forty patent applications for the Volkswagen Group to support Volkswagen’s R&D activities in China and thesubsequent filing and prosecution of these applicationsClients include Audi and Whirlpool Corporation. 

Trade mark

Case studies show the firm successfully represented On Clouds in opposing and subsequently defending the opposition against a confusingly similar trademark in China, ultimately persuading the CNIPA to deny the registration of the adversarial mark based on its bad faith and the high likelihood of confusion. Clients include Airnov and Salomon.
