Xiaoyu Sun

I am a patent agent at Bird & Bird in Hong Kong, where I advise clients on prosecuting patent applications in China, as well as exploiting commercial value from patents.

I provide a wide range of services for clients throughout the patent lifecycle, including advising on R&D direction by using patent intelligence, advising on patent filing strategy and Chinese patent application, advising on patent portfolio management strategy, and performing validity/invalidity/infringement analysis for licencing and litigations. My experience covers various technology sectors, including information and communications, automotive and medical devices.

Prior to joining Bird & Bird, I worked in both the China Patent Office and multinational IP consulting/management companies in Hong Kong. My appreciation of different culture and my insight of China's IP market enables me to match local needs in China with best IP practice globally.

I am a guest speaker at IP conferences in China. I am fluent in Mandarin, English and Cantonese.
