Intellectual property stands as a pivotal driver of scientific and technological progress, safeguarding the rights and interests of innovators, fostering fair competition, and ensuring healthy economic development. Since its reform and opening up, China has experienced a journey from the initial breakthrough in intellectual property protection to becoming a significant participant in global intellectual property governance. Entering a new era, the role of intellectual property as a strategic asset for national development and a core element of international competitiveness has become increasingly prominent.

Intellectual property is one of the core practices of King & Wood Mallesons, encompassing the entire range of services including patent/trademark prosecution as well as IP litigation and transactions. Over the years, our dedicated intellectual property team has provided extensive services for a multitude of renowned enterprises and cutting-edge enterprises, successfully handling many cases of significant social impact. Many of these cases have earned recognition as guiding cases by the Supreme People’s Court, demonstrating high representativeness and strong influence in the protection of intellectual property rights for domestic and international rights holders.

As we commemorate our 30th anniversary, KWM’s intellectual property team is proud to introduce the book Collection of KWM Intellectual Property Litigation Cases.

In today’s AI-driven era, advanced semiconductors have become central to both commercial innovation and national security. U.S. export control laws have been rapidly expanding its influential scope and even extending to the jurisdictions of U.S. allied countries. These developments have drawn intense attention from industry and policymakers alike, who view U.S. controls as the benchmark for global technology governance. What is less well known, however, is that China has maintained its own legal regime governing cross-border technology trade dates back decades. It only rarely affected mainstream commercial transactions until recent geopolitical and supply-chain pressures brought them into the spotlight. Against this evolving backdrop, technology import and export controls have reemerged as a mainstream compliance priority. This article therefore offers an overview of China’s technology import/export statutes and practical guidance on compliance, equipping international stakeholders with the tips they need to navigate both sets of rules.corporate mergers and acquisitions-export control and sanctions,intellectual property,telecommunications media entertainment and technology-technology
