Ready for New Challenges?
Western enterprises are increasingly being challenged by China and Asia. Product and brand piracy continues unabated, Chinese competitors are forming clusters and gaining market share, and unfair competitors are reaching out for know-how. In China, the new “Cyber Security Law” and the “Social Credit System” force foreign companies to disclose confidential information. The “Made in China 2025” strategy and the “New Silk Road” initiative are expected to further increase strategic risks for German companies.
Kärcher, WILO, ebm-papst – all global market leaders, have proven that these challenges can be addressed. CHINABRAND CONSULTING supports you in all of this. We fight counterfeiters, defend intellectual property and bring unfair competitors to justice. Moreover, we provide early information, analyze Chinese offensives and formulate counterstrategies. With our global network, we operate not only in China and Asia, but also worldwide.

We Work Across the Globe
Be it patents, trademarks, or copyrights - when it comes to protecting intellectual property, it is crucial to think beyond national boundaries and understand today’s global interrelations. Especially alarming is the emergence of a new generation of (Chinese) brand and product piracy which is undermining the protection of intellectual property, as counterfeit-strategies become more sophisticated.
Their structures are more complex and international in scope. This pertains to not only the export of counterfeits to third countries, but also the assembly of components manufactured abroad which are then falsely labeled. Here, Free Trade Zones have created a favorable trading environment for Chinese counterfeiters.
CHINABRAND CONSULTING works transnationally with qualified local investigators, lawyers, and patent attorneys as well as IP experts. We cultivate and maintain productive relationships with local authorities.
German, English, Chinese, or Russian – for every project we can ensure the best assistance of native speakers.
