Sequoia specializes in intellectual property services.  Intellectual property (IP) refers to creations of the mind, such as inventions; literary and artistic works; designs; and symbols, names and images used in commerce.  IP is protected in law by e.g. patents, trademarks, design registrations and copyright, which enable people to earn recognition or financial benefit from what they invent or create. Our IP professionals have extensive experiences in handling IP cases in Hong Kong and overseas such as Europe, U.S., China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, & more.

A registered design is a legal right which protects the overall visual appearance of a product or a part of a product.
