From April 17 to 18, the 2025 Ching IP & Innovation Summit (CIPIS) was held in Shanghai. As the annual event in the field of intellectual property and technological innovation in the Asia-Pacific region, CIPIS adheres to the theme of "Global Vision · China Focus". It has become an important exchange platform that gathers global experts, business leaders and industry pioneers committed to promoting in-depth discussions and cooperative development among enterprises.

As the official sponsor of the summit's Shanghai event, Chang Tsi & Partners was invited to attend the event, fully demonstrating its professional strength and leading position in the field of intellectual property legal services. At the forum for foreign enterprises in China held on April 18, the firm’s partner Tracy Shen delivered a keynote speech on "From 'Single-Point Defense' to 'Ecosystem Warfare': Diversified Protection Strategies for Intellectual Property of Foreign Enterprises in China," which attracted the attention of many participants.

In the context of today's era, where globalization and digitalization are deeply integrated, intellectual property is not only the protection of corporate innovation results but also the core asset for companies to participate in market competition, with its importance becoming increasingly prominent. Especially for foreign firms seeking development in China, intellectual property protection is both the cornerstone of stable development and the key support for achieving sustainable growth. However, with the continuous improvement and updating of China's intellectual property legal and regulatory system and the widespread application of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, foreign enterprises still face many challenges in the protection of intellectual property rights in China.

During the presentation, Tracy Shen pointed out that in the face of the complex and ever-changing market environment and intellectual property challenges in China, foreign enterprises should construct a diversified intellectual property protection strategy. In the preliminary layout stage, it is necessary to combine the business characteristics of the enterprise itself with the development trends of the Chinese market to develop a comprehensive intellectual property strategic plan. This should not only focus on applying for core technology patents and brand trademark layouts but also consider in advance the intellectual property reserves related to emerging technologies, such as the exploration and layout of algorithm patents for AI application scenarios.

At the same time, Tracy Shen combined her years of practical experience and case studies, emphasized that foreign enterprises should establish an ecological mindset, transform legal rights into market combat power, move from "single-point defense" to "ecosystem warfare," and create sustainable commercial value.

The summit attracted participants from all over the world, who engaged in in-depth discussions on core issues such as intellectual property protection and the development of the innovation ecosystem. By participating in exchanges and sharing experiences, Chang Tsi representatives offered professional advice for foreign enterprises to address intellectual property challenges. In the future, the firm will continue to keep abreast of industry development trends, constantly improve service levels, and provide more high-quality, efficient legal services for domestic and foreign enterprises. This will help enterprises to advance steadily on the path of innovation-driven development and contribute to the promotion of the global intellectual property protection cause.
