HIBC Announces Three New IP Partnerships

Innovation lies at the heart of every promising startup—but as ideas grow, so do the risks of infringement or piracy. Recognizing how vital intellectual property (IP) protection is for early-stage ventures, HIBC has formed strategic alliances with three distinct IP service providers, ensuring that even small companies can guard their creations in China and beyond. Through these partnerships, we aim to offer resourceful, transparent, and up-to-date solutions for every facet of IP management, from patent applications to infringement prosecutions.

AndunIP

Core Expertise
Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Shenzhen, AndunIP is known for its innovative, internet-led approach to IP protection. Unlike conventional legal services, AndunIP often works on a no-fee basis, earning revenue through settlements or successful claims. This performance-driven model not only lowers the financial barrier for startups but also ensures clients stay informed throughout the entire dispute process via a fully transparent, trackable system.

          What Makes Them Unique

          Nationwide Reach: With over 500 specialized lawyers, AndunIP handles IP cases across every Chinese province.

          Holistic Coverage: From patent, copyright, and trademark disputes to unfair competition, they deliver comprehensive enforcement strategies.

          Aggressive Enforcement: Cases in March alone totaled 1,636, underscoring the scope of AndunIP’s proactive fight against infringement—a critical safeguard for the accelerating 40% rise in IP violations reported in 2018.

Benefit to HIBC Members
By partnering with AndunIP, HIBC startups—many of which operate on lean budgets—can enforce their IP rights without sinking massive capital into legal fees. Instead, they gain peace of mind and a sturdy defense for their inventions, trademarks, and creative assets.
