Lihan Yang
Counsel Attorney at Law Trademark Agent

As the youngest head of a lawyer team in Chang Tsi, Attorney Yang Lihan is responsible for providing comprehensive intellectual property rights affirmation and protection strategies for several Fortune 500 companies in the Greater China region. Against the backdrop of the integration of Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, Lihan has a deep understanding of the distinct intellectual property theories and practical experience across these four jurisdictions. She is capable of offering clients multi-angle, multi-level, one-stop intellectual property protection strategies that cover all four jurisdictions, demonstrating an extraordinary legal vision for Greater China and an exceptional strategic mindset.

Leading her team, Lihan maintains close communication with intellectual property authorities in Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan. With her outstanding language skills, broad global perspective, and unique insights into intellectual property, coupled with a precise grasp of official examination trends, she has maintained a very high success rate in handling trademark conflict cases such as responses to examination opinions, oppositions, invalidations, and cancellations in these three regions. She has repeatedly secured successful decisions recognizing her clients' trademarks as well-known marks in these three jurisdictions as well.

Lihan is also a practicing attorney in Mainland China, having presided over or participated in several significant foreign-related intellectual property litigation cases, unfair competition lawsuits, and domain name arbitration cases. Over six years of undergraduate and master's legal education have provided her with a solid and profound legal foundation. With a quick-witted and logically meticulous mind, Lihan, acting as a litigation representative for leading companies such as Midea Group and Dart Group, has repeatedly secured favorable judgments for her clients, emerging as a rising star in the field of intellectual property law in Greater China.
