ZYIP helps internet enterprises break through the barriers of the intelligent transportation industry by means of strategic acquisitions.
I. Case Overview
An internet giant enterprise was planning to establish an intelligent transportation ecosystem. However, its core trademark had already been registered by another party, posing a significant barrier to the launch of the brand. ZYIP, through in-depth due diligence, discovered that the prior trademark was merely a defensive reserve and had no actual usage intention. In the face of the other party's malicious price hikes and delaying tactics, ZYIP innovatively adopted a dual-track solution of "strategic acquisition + commercial negotiation", and ultimately completed the trademark acquisition within 30 days at a cost that was 40% of the client's budget, efficiently clearing the obstacles to the brand launch.
