The firm’s Senior Partner Dr. Huang Hui elaborates on the dovetailing of the trademark civil and administrative procedure from comparative law perspective. Dr. Huang’s presentation focuses on three aspects: impact of trademark civil procedure on the administrative granting and affirmation procedure of trademark rights (administrative procedure), influence of trademark administrative procedure on trademark civil procedure, as well as the effect of trademark civil procedure collateral to administrative procedure, through which he proposes unique solution to the matter from a legislative and case law approach.

The firm also provides complimentary copies of its latest publication “2018 Wanhuida Editor’s Selections on IPR Practice” to the attendees at the Forum.
