Ji Jun has been practicing as lawyer for many years and is fluent in Chinese, English and Japanese. In the aspects of litigation and arbitration, he has abundant experience and outstanding performance, especially in cases relating to intellectual property rights.
IP cases
l Since 2018, he has been representing a famous chemical foreign company to file a lawsuit against a well-known domestic chemical project design company, a large domestic chemical production company and its affiliates for infringement of trade secrets. In order to protect the interests of client to the greatest extent and put pressure on the suspected infringers, he has also simultaneously lodged three patent rights confirmation suits and initiated criminal proceedings in addition to the above-mentioned civil litigation. In the first instance of such litigation, he has successfully applied to the court for issuing investigation orders to lawyers to introduce a large number of infringement evidence, including project drawings and the like. The case is still under trial at present.
l From 2015 to 2019, he has represented a Japanese machinery manufacture company to file a number of patent infringement lawsuits, and successfully preserved the suspected infringing products of the other party at the exhibition. In these series of patent infringement lawsuits, several injunctions both issued by Higher People’s Court of Shanghai and Shanghai Intellectual Property Court have been successfully obtained, which has effectively stopped the infringement conducted by competitors of client.
l In 2013, he has represented a well-known pharmaceutical enterprise in the United States as plaintiff in a patent infringement lawsuit.
l In April 2008, he has represented Yamaha Engine Co., Ltd to lodge a suit against Zhejiang Huatian Industry Co., Ltd. and three other defendants for trademark infringement, which has been heard by Higher People’s Court of Jiangsu in the first instance and Supreme People’s Court in the second instance. This case finally has achieved RMB 8.3 million for the client which was considered as the highest compensation ever among trademark infringement cases in China at that time and was then successfully enforced up to 100%. In 2009, he has been again entrusted by Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. to participate in the retrial initiated by the other party. Eventually, the Supreme Court accepted our opinion and rejected the other party's application for retrial in July 2009.
l In 2011, he received the visit of professionals from the Japanese Electronic Information Technology Industry Association and the intellectual property departments of famous Japanese companies, introduced the current status of intellectual property in China, as well as answered the questions concerning intellectual property.
l In 2011, he has represented a Japanese car manufacturing company to lodge several suits against two Chinese companies on four trademark infringements.
Dispute Resolution Cases
l In 2018, he has represented a well-known foreign ship-building company as defendant in series of maritime infringement cases filed by four branches (Guangdong, Qingdao, Shenzhen, Xiamen) of a large insurance company regarding the quality of ship. The cases have been resolved by effective evidence presentation and negotiation and finally withdrawn by the plaintiff.
l In 2018, he has been entrusted by the supplier of goods to initiate arbitration over a dispute regarding to a long-term supply agreement.
l In 2014, he has represented Hua Nan Bank and its overseas investors to recover RMB 13.5 million investment in China. In this case, the investor invested RMB 15 million in 2008 to purchase equity of a Chinese company and entrusted an employee of the investor's parent company to hold the equity on its behalf. However, the employee then transferred the equity for RMB 19.5 million without authorization and possessed such amount by himself. On the one hand, we filed a civil lawsuit against the employee in accordance with the law, on the other hand, we kept the negotiation channels open to the employee. Finally, both parties have reached the agreement through mediation held by the court and the employee returned RMB 13.5 million. Later, the case has come into enforcement phase and all the amount has been enforced successfully by means of preserving equivalent property of the other party, which has achieved recovery rate as 90%.
l In 2014, he has represented a British education publishing group to handle investment disputes regarding to VIE structure in China. The dispute has ended up with settlement in arbitration through multiple rounds of negotiations. The client has finally recovered the investment amount of USD 10 million.
l In 2010, he has represented Hua Nan Bank and its overseas investors to successfully recover investment of 83,333,333 Hong Kong dollars in China. Relying on comprehensive and accurate legal and factual investigations, we have formulated a rigorous negotiation strategy, conducted multiple negotiations with various parties and eventually facilitated the parties to reach a settlement. The client has finally recovered about 100 million Hong Kong dollars of debt by transferring the equity of the relevant company and the recovery rate is over 90%.
