Yuan Jinbo

Profile

Yuan Jinbo is a former patent examiner and holds both the patent attorney qualification and the legal profession qualification. He specializes in patent infringement analysis and IP litigation strategy, and is highly experienced in patent prosecution and invalidation proceedings in electronics, telecommunications and computer software.

Practice Areas

· Electronics and telecommunications patents: circuit structures, communication protocols and signal processing — drafting and responses
· Computer-software applications: structuring the technical solution and handling algorithm-related subject-matter issues
· Patent searching and analysis: pre-filing patentability assessment, freedom-to-operate (FTO) searches and validity analysis
· Reexamination and invalidation: drafting requests, organising evidence and preparing for oral proceedings
· Infringement analysis and litigation strategy: claim construction, equivalence assessment and defence design

Professional Background

He holds both the patent attorney qualification and the legal profession qualification. As a former patent examiner he is familiar with the search approach and the standard for assessing inventiveness in substantive examination, and habitually anticipates the search direction from an examiner’s perspective — writing the correspondence between distinguishing features and technical effects clearly at the filing stage so that later responses are not reactive.
On the litigation side he starts from claim construction, first fixing the literal boundary of the scope and then assessing equivalence; in invalidation proceedings he focuses on the completeness and combined logic of the evidence chain rather than isolated comparison against a single reference. The firm holds pre-examination qualification from major Chinese IP protection centres, so client cases can use the fast-track pre-examination channel.

Representative Cases

· Led invention-patent filings and office-action responses in electronics, telecommunications and computer software
· Handled patent reexamination and invalidation cases, responsible for drafting requests and preparing oral proceedings
· Provided infringement analysis, FTO searches and validity assessments to innovators
