Zeng echoes the sentiment of focus, quoting the Chinese adage, “Weak water offers three thousand streams; I drink only one ladle.” For Zeng, the vast field of IP law requires specialization. His future research will centre on the integration of civil and criminal mechanisms in IP law, with a particular emphasis on protecting well-known trademarks. He explains, “This includes three key areas: first, equal civil protection for unregistered and registered well-known trademarks; second, the criminal differentiation between registered well-known trademarks and standard trademarks; and third, legislative and practical mechanisms for integrating civil and criminal IP protection. By exploring these issues, I hope to draw broader attention to areas requiring development and collectively push forward legislative and judicial progress in these fields.” For Li, his dedication to IP law is best captured by the phrase, “No pain, no gain.” Looking ahead, he envisions advancing his expertise and fostering innovation through several initiatives. He aims to collaborate with leading IP service institutions at both regional and national levels to establish a synergistic and professional service system. Additionally, he plans to design and implement IP education and training programs for domestic universities, research institutions, and enterprises, fostering innovative learning models. Leveraging Beijing’s status as the capital, Li intends to develop international IP exchange platforms to promote global collaboration. Furthermore, he is committed to exploring modern technologies such as big data and AI to improve the precision and intelligence of IP services, paving the way for innovative service models and technological applications in IP law. These efforts, Li concludes, will not only elevate professional standards in the field but also stimulate regional innovation and contribute to high-quality economic development. 过去一年,知识产权领域市场热度不减,伴随 知产保护力度持续加强,法律服务市场也呈现 出不少新的发展趋势。 就政策而言,今年,国家知识产权强国建设 工作部联席会议办公室印发《2024年知识产权 强国建设推进计划》,强调了完善知识产权制 度、强化知识产权保护、完善知识产权市场运 行机制、提高知识产权公共服务水平等内容, 并在营造良好的知识产权人文社会环境、深度 参与全球知识产权治理、加强组织保障等层面 明确了具体措施。 在政策鼓励和引领下,中国的知识产权发展 保持了亮眼的速度。不久前,世界知识产权组织 (WIPO)发布了2024年全球创新指数排名和 知识产权指标,中国连续第二年成为拥有最多科 技创新集群的经济体,深圳-香港-广州、北京、上 海-苏州都位列2024年最重要的科技创新中心。 伴随知识产权申请数量持续增加,知识产 权成果的质量、创新性不断提升,知识产权诉 讼标的额与案件复杂程度的进一步提升,相关 法律服务市场也呈现出竞争日益激烈、需求逐 渐增大的发展态势。这对知识产权律师提出了 更高、更多、更新的要求。 2024 ALB China Top 15 IP Lawyers “In the digital economy era represented by AI models, IP professionals are not only amazed by the challenges these technologies pose to traditional IP systems but are also striving to devise effective solutions.
