End-to-End IP Planning for IPO Processes

Guided by IPO regulations and our professional expertise, we develop customized end-to-end IP strategies tailored to each client’s specific context and objectives—from pre-listing cultivation through successful public offering. Our planning clearly outlines: Compliance requirements and benchmarks related to sci-tech innovation attributes, core technologies, and especially intellectual property; Foreseeable challenges and potential obstacles; Stage-specific actions and priorities throughout the IPO journey; Key focus areas and compliance considerations; Resource allocation needs, including personnel and financial investment.

Evaluation and Structuring of Corporate S&T Attributes

In accordance with the Guidelines for the Evaluation of Sci-Tech Innovation Attributes (including standard indicators and exceptional clauses) and other relevant regulations, we conduct thorough research and analysis of the enterprise's relevant conditions. We perform a preliminary assessment of its compliance with sci-tech innovation attributes, identify existing gaps and issues, and provide clear guidance on recommended directions and pathways for improvement.

Comprehensive Intellectual Property Asset Inventory

We perform a thorough inventory of the enterprise’s intellectual property assets to identify all owned IP—including types, quantities, and legal status—while examining ownership details, encumbrances or restrictions, and potential risks such as invalidation or ongoing litigation. Furthermore, we identify patents closely aligned with core technologies and primary business operations, and analyze their consistency and relevance to the company’s strategic commercial objectives.

Intellectual Property Risk Identification and Diagnosis

Through a systematic investigation and analysis of IP-related risks within corporate operations and management, we provide a diagnostic report that clearly outlines risk manifestations, contributing factors, potential consequences, and recommended countermeasures. Key areas of focus include the sources and acquisition methods of core technologies, IP ownership in collaborative R&D, patent infringement risks in products, stability of key technical personnel, trade secret leakage, and pending IP disputes or litigation.

In response to the requirements for core patents under S&T attribute guidelines and the actual technology development needs of the enterprise, we carry out systematic patent mining—including invention conception sessions—centered around core technologies and principal products. We develop strategic patent layout plans, generate a high volume of quality patent applications, and facilitate accelerated procedures such as fast-track pre-examination and priority review. Our goal is to secure prompt grant of patents, resulting in a robust portfolio that not only meets but exceeds the quantitative requirements for S&T attributes, and fully supports the company's core business and technological capabilities.

Core Patent Portfolio Development and Accelerated Grant

Integrating conventional due diligence (including but not limited to legal due diligence), corporate IPO review inquiries, patent infringement analysis (FTO), patent navigation, IP analysis and evaluation, patent value assessment frameworks, and intellectual property management standards/systems, this service represents a newly developed and comprehensively upgraded legal/IP solution. It is designed in response to the current global economic climate, industrial technology trends, commercial transaction landscapes, and legal policy environments.

Going beyond traditional basic IP due diligence, we conduct in-depth research and analysis tailored to the industry, technology, products, and competitive landscape. This enables clients engaged in business transactions such as investment, M&A, restructuring, and technology or talent acquisition to accurately identify value, recognize risks, evaluate investment feasibility, and ultimately enhance the efficiency and returns of their commercial decisions.

Intellectual Property Due Diligence

In accordance with the national standard GB/T 29490 and based on the enterprise's current IP status and risk assessment, we establish a comprehensive intellectual property compliance management system. This includes defining the enterprise's IP strategy, objectives, organizational structure, and resource allocation, as well as drafting an IP management manual, a series of procedural documents, and record forms. Throughout the entire business process—from project initiation, R&D, and procurement to production, sales, and after-sales support—we implement clear management requirements and operational procedures for the creation, maintenance, protection, and utilization of intellectual property. This systematic approach enhances the culture of IP protection and strengthens compliance awareness across the organization.

Construction of an Intellectual Property Compliance Management System

Guided by relevant regulations and our extensive experience, we assist clients in collecting and organizing information related to core technologies and intellectual property. We ensure this information is accurately and appropriately drafted and disclosed in the prospectus and other relevant documents. Our goal is to achieve comprehensive, accurate, and complete disclosure in a single submission, thereby minimizing the risk of inquiries, delays, or even termination resulting from omissions, ambiguities, or insufficient detail.

Prospectus Disclosure of Intellectual Property Information

We provide guidance to enterprises in applying for government-supported high-value patent portfolio cultivation projects initiated by provincial, municipal, and district authorities. Our services include assisting in the preparation of application materials, supporting clients during project proposal defense sessions, implementing the project in compliance with government contract requirements upon approval, and ultimately preparing for the final acceptance review. The overall process integrates patent navigation analysis, patent mining and portfolio planning, and patent application agency services.

Through the implementation of high-value patent portfolio cultivation projects, we assist clients in conducting patent layout at a more strategic level and with clearer direction, thereby obtaining higher-quality, higher-value, and more comprehensive and robust patent portfolios.
