2025-11-20
I. Case Introduction 
A certain automotive enterprise is a benchmark company for high-end electric vehicles in China. The technologies released at its annual product grand event need to be protected by patents globally in a synchronized manner. ZYIP, the intellectual property agency, is facing the challenge of having to submit over 60 core patents globally before strict deadlines. By forming a special task force, innovating working methods, and the continuous efforts of all staff, they finally completed all submissions on the eve of the deadline, setting an industry record and winning the high recognition and continuous cooperation of customers with their outstanding professional services. 



II. Case Details 
1.Customer type/industry:
Chinese high-end electric vehicle manufacturer. 


2. Customer Pain Points/Problem Description:
(1) Extremely tight time frame: 60 core patents must be submitted globally simultaneously by 24:00 on December 20th. The time limit cannot be compromised.
(2) Internal process congestion: The delivery of the customer's technical briefing materials was delayed, resulting in a 65% reduction in the effective working time of the ZYIP team.
(3) Excessive workload for review: The daily review volume of the client's IPR lawyer exceeded the normal load by 300%, posing a risk of approval bottlenecks.
(4) Uncertain until the last moment: As of 18:00 on the submission day, several key patents were still in the final modification and review stage. 


3. Solution and Process:
(1) Establish a specialized special operations team: 
Immediately form the "Escort Special Team", which consists of 4 senior lawyers, 2 technical experts and 6 process experts.
(2) Innovative work and review mechanism:
Firstly, introduce the "three-stage cross-review method", through multiple rounds of cross-quality checks, the quality defect rate of patent texts is controlled within 0.5%.
Develop a real-time project tracking board, implement minute-level monitoring of the 20 key nodes from writing to submission, ensuring full transparency and controllability throughout the process.
(3) Implement comprehensive guarantees:
Establish an "energy replenishment station" to provide logistical support for the continuously working team, maintaining high morale.
Lawyers actively adjusted their personal wedding rehearsal plans and remained at their posts, demonstrating a high level of professional responsibility.
The process team implemented the "all-staff relay" working mode to ensure 24-hour continuous response and handling, ultimately achieving seamless collaboration among teams across the country. 



4. Achievements/Results:
(1) Successfully fulfilled the mission: All 60 patents were submitted globally at 23:40 on December 20th, setting a new record for delivery within the industry.
(2) Quality exceeded expectations: The first batch of patent approvals reached 98%, far exceeding the industry average.
(3) Received extremely high praise from customers: The customer company specially wrote a letter, praising that "The ZYIP team, with professionalism and dedication, accomplished an impossible mission."
