Creating a successful business and becoming a well-known brand, especially in the luxury goods market, requires more than hard work, innovation and creativity. The foundation for success is dependent upon the protection of a company’s intellectual property (IP), which is the cornerstone of successful brands. When businesses seek comprehensive legal solutions to protect their assets, they entrust those solutions to Ferrante Intellectual Property (Ferrante IP) and its specialist lawyers who stand at the forefront of the IP industry.

Ferrante IP has licences to operate as a law firm in Beijing and Shanghai, with an office in Hong Kong. It offers a wide range of legal solutions for clients seeking to protect and enhance their brands. For more than two decades, Ferrante IP has specialised in the representation of clients who operate in the luxury sectors – including fashion, perfume, watches and accessories such as glasses and leather goods. The firm also has clients in multinational companies operating in the automotive, furniture, and food and beverage industries.

The secret to Ferrante IP’s success is its knowledge of the Chinese market dynamics and keeping pace with its continuously evolving legal system. This has not only involved complex IP litigation at international and local levels, but ancillary services such as the obtaining of injunctions, mediation, e-commerce legal issues, licencing and franchising, the unauthorised use of domain names on the internet, product liability claims, consumer protection issues and compliance with advertising laws. The firm’s legal services extend to operating in administrative actions in addition to the traditional civil and criminal court systems. It also has an impressive team of experienced lawyers, which includes multilingual European and Chinese IP practitioners.

Michele Ferrante, founder and managing partner of the firm, acknowledges that its lawyers have an unparalleled mastery of Chinese laws and regulations in the IP field, which includes patents, designs, copyright and trademarks.
