IP Services

As the economic growth and social change in Taiwan, the development of a business which continues to compete in an industry with highly concentrated labors will be limited, due to the higher costs of materials and manufacturing procedures and the new-open markets in China and Southeast Asia. To confront with the oncoming of "Knowledge-based Economy Era”, how to adjust the type of a business toward developing in knowledge-based industries has become the key to succeed in the future.

For the knowledge-based industries, R&D and innovation are extremely emphasized. Every person competing in such industries tries his/her best to seek for the protection of Intellectual Property Right (IPR), which leads IPR to become not only a "hot selling product" but also a decisive weapon in the business war around the world. As a result, the quantity of IPRs, patent especially, other than the percentage of market shares becomes the most important factor to judge the competitiveness of a company.

Recognizing the tendency that IPR, including, without limitation, patents, trademarks, trade secrets, copyrights, integrated circuit (IC) layout, and know-how, will become the critical assets of a company, PuHua Intellectual Property Consultancy & Prosecution has formed a talented team with experts specialized in Intellectual Property field to the effect that we can provide IP-related professional services for clients. We are confident by employing our two-pronged approach, i.e., passively, prevent the occurrence of IPR infringement; positively, engage in technology transfer negotiation, IPR securitization and IPR taxation planning, that we will gain the greatest profit for our clients.
