ZYIP has achieved the status of the sole intellectual property partner for leading state-owned enterprises in the chip industry through professionalism and warmth.
I. Case Introduction
A certain microelectronics company in Shenzhen, as a leading enterprise in the research and development of state-owned chips, encountered challenges in intellectual property management during its rapid development stage: The legal team was concurrently responsible for IP affairs, but their professional experience and energy were both insufficient. ZYIP, through the establishment of an exclusive team consisting of "advisors and technical experts", provided full-cycle and zero-time gap in-depth services. Not only did they efficiently layout patents and precisely avoid risks, but they also achieved outstanding service quality, becoming the only strategic partner chosen in the subsequent patent agency bidding process, thus achieving a leap from single service to deep trust.
