Jack Zhanke Li is a widely recognized IP litigator and co-chairs the IP practice of Global Law Office. With an educational background of both engineering and law, Jack Li specializes in IP litigation, including technology-related IP disputes (such as patents, trade secrets, and software) and non-technology-related IP disputes (such as trademarks, unfair competition, and IP contracts).

His clients include leading domestic and multinational companies in industries such as high-end manufacturing, fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), pharmaceuticals, telecommunications, internet, and software. Many of the cases he has handled have been recognized as Top 10 IP Cases or landmark cases by the Supreme People’s Court (SPC) and various high courts.

• A patent infringement dispute involving container inspection system was selected by the SPC as one of the "50 Typical IP Cases of Chinese Courts in 2018."
• A patent infringement dispute related to the construction method of the Beijing Daxing International Airport was recognized as one of the "15 Landmark Cases of the Beijing Intellectual Property Court in 2019."
• The first antitrust review case involving a reverse payment patent settlement was listed by the SPC as one of the "50 Typical IP Cases of Chinese Courts in 2021."

Jack Li is particularly skilled in handling major and complex IP litigation and has represented/is representing clients in several high-stakes trade secret infringement disputes. He is adept at employing comprehensive legal strategies, such as successfully persuading courts to grant pre-trial evidence preservation in multiple cases. He has also successfully turned unfavorable outcomes at the first-instance stage into favorable results on appeal. For instance, in a trademark infringement case, he secured a behavioral preservation order (injunction during litigation) at the appellate stage after an unfavorable first-instance ruling. In another trade secret infringement case, despite a non-infringement finding in the first instance, he persuaded the SPC to issue a formal mediation agreement including damages, thereby concluding the case favorably.

Jack also has rich experience in non-contentious IP matters, including strategic planning and management of corporate intellectual property, special IP services in the process of IPO, IP due diligence, FTO and infringement analysis, and IP licensing and transaction matters.

Prior to joining Global Law Office in 2016, Jack worked with other top-tier PRC firms for years. Jack started his IP practice at an MNC where he worked as an IP Counsel focusing on IP licensing matters.
