China
Rouse was one of the first international intellectual property firms to establish a presence in China and has been supporting clients in the market for more than 30 years. Today, we are recognised as one of China's leading IP service providers, consistently ranked by major legal directories and industry publications, and have been named Managing IP's Foreign Firm of the Year – China on multiple occasions.
With offices in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Hong Kong SAR, we support clients across Greater China and around the world.
Working closely with our strategic partner, Lusheng Law Firm, one of China's leading IP law firms, we provide a full range of intellectual property services, including:
- Trade mark, design and patent portfolio management
- Brand protection, enforcement and anti-counterfeiting programmes
- Licensing and commercialisation support
- Strategic IP advisory services
- Intellectual property disputes and litigation
Together, we combine international reach with deep local knowledge, providing seamless support across both contentious and non-contentious IP matters.
In addition, our commercial law specialists advise on market entry, advertising law, digital transformation, cyber security and other IP-related commercial issues.
For more than three decades, we have helped multinational businesses establish, protect and grow their operations in China, while increasingly supporting Chinese companies in their international expansion. From global consumer brands and technology innovators to manufacturers and industry leaders, we help clients protect and maximise the value of their intellectual property across international markets.
Our Hong Kong SAR office serves as a regional hub for international portfolio management, cross-border enforcement programmes and the coordination of multi-jurisdictional IP strategies across Asia.
