About Us

US-China Intellectual Property Counsel (USCIPC) is a boutique law firm that seamlessly blends an internationally-recognized level of expertise with a personalized touch. We are a close-knit, multi-cultural team of legal and technical IP experts that bring a global perspective to every aspect of IP portfolio development.

USCIPC brings decades of international professional experience to each client engagement, and we have carefully honed the craft of successfully taking our clients’ ingenuity to every corner of the world. As a specialized firm with unlimited global reach, we represent start-ups and publicly traded companies alike, all with the express intention of realizing every conceivable point of value from their invention in the global marketplace.

We believe that cultivating the value of intellectual property is an indispensable advantage to our clients, and therefore our services extend far beyond mere patent filing. We partner with our clients in order to fully understand the nature and intended purpose of their innovation. In doing so, we develop a shared understanding of not just the invention, but the every aspect of the invention that can and should be protected. With this in mind, we mine IP data and research in order to produce a clearly-defined IP portfolio consisting of multiple elements of protection — including patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets. We take a holistic approach to our clients’ IP concerns, incorporating both business and legal considerations.

Our cornerstone service is international IP Strategy and Prosecution, particularly with respect to companies wishing to develop a “China Strategy.” We possess not only a vast knowledge of US IP Law, but also a deep understanding of the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) and IP Law in China—a Country that possesses a deceptively complicated and multilayered legal regime. Every member of our team is proficient in English and Chinese which enables us to work directly with local legal authorities, organizations and stakeholders. The depth of our international knowledge enables us to empower clients with unparalleled reach into the Chinese market.
