Converging top-tier intellect, jointly deliberating on the frontiers of rule of law. The 9th China Knowledge-Competition Forum and the 2025 Annual Meeting of the Competition Law Research Society of the Hubei Provincial Law Society were grandly inaugurated at the Wuhan University Law School. As a benchmark academic event in China’s intellectual property and competition law fields, this forum assembled academic titans, judicial elites, and industry leaders, sparking intellectual fireworks through diverse perspectives and resolving practical challenges through in-depth deliberation. Mr. Wang Xin, Managing Partner of Beijing Tengyu Law Firm, and Ms. Liu Li, Director of the Management Committee, were invited to attend this top-tier rule-of-law gathering. These two Tengyu leaders engaged in discourse with the industry’s foremost forces, deeply deconstructing core challenges in the IP and competition law fields under new business formats, showcasing Tengyu’s professional accumulation and industry influence in the IP legal services field!
Gathering at Luojia: Top-Tier Event Anchors the Course of Rule of Law
In the winter at Luojia, the wise and virtuous assembled. This forum was organised by the Competition Law Special Committee of the Economic Law Research Society of the China Law Society and the Competition Law Research Society of the Hubei Provincial Law Society, hosted by the Wuhan University Intellectual Property and Competition Law Research Institute and the Wuhan University Law School, and co-organised by the Art Law Research Centre of the Hebei Academy of Fine Arts and the Nanyue Patent and Trademark Agency. With the theme “Intellectual Property and Competition Law in the Digital Economy Era,” the forum built a high-end platform for in-depth dialogue among academia, the judiciary, and industry.
From the profound insights of experts and scholars on digital economy antitrust in the keynote speeches to the precise dissection of frontier trademark law issues in the sub-forums, this grand event encompassed both macro policy interpretation and direct strikes at micro practical pain points. The two directors from Tengyu Law Firm participated extensively in the full agenda, engaging in in-depth exchanges with guests from the Supreme People’s Court, the State Administration for Market Regulation, renowned universities, and leading enterprises, precisely grasping industry development trends and new dynamics in legal application, thereby absorbing core nourishment for optimising Tengyu’s legal service system and enhancing the handling capabilities for complex cases.
Decoding Practice: Managing Partner Wang Xin Dissects Core Trademark Defence Practice in Depth
At the sub-forum on “Frontier Issues in Trademark Law,” Mr. Wang Xin, Managing Partner of Beijing Tengyu Law Firm, delivered a keynote presentation entitled “The Defence of Non-Use for Three Years in Trademark Law: Application Boundaries, Evidence Standards, and Practical Strategies.” Anchored on typical practical cases and deeply integrating the difficulties of legal application, he delivered a systematic exposition that garnered high attention and deep recognition from attending experts and scholars.
In his presentation, Mr. Wang Xin drew on the firm’s many years of IP litigation practical experience to deliver an in-depth analysis around three core issues: the legal application boundaries of the “non-use for three years defence,” the recognition of evidence standards, and the construction of practical strategies. By deconstructing the key controversies in the “QiXX” case, he elaborated in detail on the common dilemmas of this type of defence in judicial practice and furnished actionable solutions such as how to counter false evidence, providing highly valuable operational guidance for front-line legal practitioners.
“The protection of trademark rights should be rooted in actual use; the application of the ‘non-use for three years defence’ must both safeguard fair competition order and guard against rights abuse.” Mr. Wang Xin’s presentation combined theoretical depth with practical value, not only showcasing Tengyu’s profound accumulation in the field of trademark law practice but also providing new perspectives for the efficient resolution of trademark infringement disputes through a problem-oriented, discussion-based approach, earning broad resonance among attending guests.
Tengyu Moving Forward: Deeply Cultivating IP, Safeguarding the Path of Innovation and Fairness
As a professional boutique law firm deeply cultivating the intellectual property field, Beijing Tengyu Law Firm has consistently upheld the core philosophy of “professionalism empowering innovation, rule of law defending fairness.” The firm has long focused on core businesses such as trademark registration, rights enforcement, and defence, successfully representing numerous major and complex IP cases and accumulating rich practical experience and industry resources. The joint attendance of Director Liu Li and Director Wang Xin at this event represents both an important measure of Tengyu’s proactive integration into the industry academic ecosystem and alignment with cutting-edge concepts, and a vivid embodiment of the firm’s development philosophy of “nurturing theory through practice and guiding practice with theory.”
Navigating the sea of knowledge, persistence leads to arrival; the path of rule of law is passed down from generation to generation. The conclusion of the 9th China Knowledge-Competition Forum marks the starting point of new thinking and a new opportunity for Tengyu to deepen its professional services. Going forward, Beijing Tengyu Law Firm will continue to distil the frontier rule-of-law concepts and top-tier practical wisdom from this grand event, transforming them into core competitiveness to empower clients. The firm will further deepen its cultivation in the IP and competition law fields, with professionalism as its foundation, commitment as its imperative, and innovation as its wings, constructing robust legal barriers for corporate innovation and development and injecting more solid Tengyu strength into China’s IP protection endeavours!
