Mengyi Chen is a Hong Kong-qualified lawyer with over 12 years of experience advising on contentious and non-contentious intellectual property matters across Greater China. She is regularly trusted by multinational clients to advise on IP-critical issues in the life sciences, technology and consumer products sectors, supporting the protection, exploitation and enforcement of IP rights in complex, cross-border environments.
Mengyi has extensive experience in IP commercialisation and transactions, including cross-border licensing, technology transfer, R&D collaborations and distribution arrangements involving IP-rich products. She frequently leads or plays a central role in multi-jurisdictional mandates, working closely with local counsel across Asia and Europe to deliver coordinated and commercially aligned solutions.
On the contentious side, Mengyi has significant experience in IP disputes and enforcement strategies, including trademark, copyright, patent and technology-related disputes. She is not only regularly involved in advising on infringement risks and handling IP disputes in Hong Kong, but also frequently handling the global litigation strategies and the design and implementation of cross-border enforcement strategies, often as part of broader brand protection or market-entry programmes.
Her practice also covers IP due diligence, and regulatory-linked IP issues throughout the product lifecycle. She is particularly recognised for her ability to bridge IP, regulatory and commercial considerations, providing pragmatic, business-oriented advice for clients operating in Greater China’s highly regulated markets.
