China Team Leadership Promotions
We are pleased to announce two recent leadership promotions that will further enhance OBWB’s operational capabilities in China.
In recognition of continued excellence, Shaoping ZHONG has been appointed Vice President of our Beijing office, and Jude Yi has been promoted to General Manager of our Hangzhou office. These appointments reflect the firm's commitment to delivering exceptional service and support to our global clients.
OBWB has enjoyed an established presence in China since 2012. Our Hangzhou office serves as a key hub, collaborating closely with the firm’s seven global offices to provide comprehensive IP services to both domestic and international clients.
Known as China’s “smartest city,” Hangzhou is a thriving center of innovation, e-commerce, and advanced technologies. Our strategic location in this dynamic market allows us to deliver timely legal support and address IP issues as they arise. Whether assisting Chinese companies expanding globally or supporting foreign businesses entering the Chinese market, OBWB is well-positioned to offer a full spectrum of IP services. Clients can rely on OBWB to navigate the complexities of China’s IP landscape with precision and insight.
With Beijing widely regarded as the IP capital of China, having an office in the nation’s capital—home to key IP administrative and judicial authorities—facilitates collaboration with leading Chinese IP firms and international IP networks. Our Beijing office assists with patent and trademark filings, litigation, enforcement, and other domestic and international legal matters.
We extend our sincere thanks to Shaoping and Jude for their exceptional leadership and support of our China offices. Please join us in congratulating them on their well-deserved promotions!
