Cross-border patent strategy

Patent layout for Chinese innovators going overseas and overseas innovators entering China.

Ma Su helps Chinese companies and individual inventors plan overseas patent portfolios, while also helping overseas innovation teams enter China with examiner-style patentability screening, claim reconstruction, and portfolio strategy. The team also turns FTO analysis into design-around options, invention mining opportunities, and patent portfolio layout.
