为应对日益增加的IP诉讼案例，英国罗思近日聘得Jacob Chen领导其广州分所的IP诉讼团队。

Chen在争议性和非争议性的IP问题方面拥有丰富的经验。他曾代表国际和国内客户在国内法庭及中国域名争议解决中心提起诉讼，进行仲裁或调解。在加入罗思之前，Chen是一家广东知识产权律所-华进律所的合伙人。  

Rouse China has hired Jacob Chen to head its Guangzhou IP litigation team in response to the growing number of IP litigation cases being heard in the metropolis.

Chen, an experienced lawyer and litigator in China, has advised clients on both contentious and non-contentious IP matters in China. He has represented international and domestic clients before Chinese government authorities, Chinese courts and the China Domain Name Dispute Resolution Centre.

A member of the China Bar Association, the Editorial Committee of INTA China Bulletin and the INTA Anti-counterfeiting East Asia & Pacific Committee, he also serves as a panelist for the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Centre for Domain Name Dispute Resolution.

Prior to his appointment at Rouse, Chen was an attorney and partner at local Guangzhou intellectual property firm, Advance China IP Law Office. During his tenure there, Chen was selected to spend a year in the UK for a placement in English firm Walker Morris under the Lord Chancellor’s Training Scheme for Chinese Lawyers.

Chen will head up a team of 10 lawyers at Rouse China’s Guangzhou office with immediate effect.ALB
