Mr. HU graduated from Sun Yat-sen University with a master's degree in polymer chemistry and physics. He has been in the IP field for over 14 years, and is now vice president of the firm, a member of IMSPP Innovation Manager, included expert of the Guangdong IP Protection Center, etc. 

Mr. HU’s technical field ranges from biomedicine to new materials, including polymer composite materials, genetic engineering, nucleic acid drugs, proteins, peptides, monoclonal antibodies. He has rich experience in high-value patent layout, patent search and analysis, as well as patent drafting and prosecution.

Since China’s promotion to the implementation of the national standards for “Enterprise IP Management”, Mr. Hu, as an auditor, has assisted many enterprises in obtaining certification for their intellectual property management systems. He is well recognized by his clients, including BGI Genomics, Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology, Sun Yat-sen University, Fudan University, Midea Group and Xiaopeng Motors, for his professionalism and excellence.

Mr. HU also has extensive experience in patent invalidation and litigation. One of his representative cases is successfully invalidating a patent of a multinational chemical giant, eliminating the infringement risk of a domestic leading company in the industry. In this case, HU filed an in-depth analysis to argue that the patent claims were Markush claims, and thus restricting the patent owner from deleting the "technical elements". After a painstaking search, he then used strong prior arts to destroy the patent's novelty and inventiveness. The patent was eventually declared fully invalid.
