How APAC coordination works

In your timezone, when the deadline is tomorrow

Most overseas attorneys have their own relationships with attorneys in Japan, China, Korea, and the major Asian jurisdictions. We are not trying to sit between you and those relationships; that would add cost and delay.

What we offer is different. When your client has a matter that touches Australia or New Zealand and also involves other APAC jurisdictions, we understand the whole picture. We know what IP Australia needs, what the CNIPA needs, what the JPO needs. We coordinate the Australian end and advise on the interaction between jurisdictions without duplicating work you or your contacts are already doing.

More practically: when your US or UK client has an urgent deadline on an Australian matter and it’s 9pm their time, we are in the right timezone to help. We pick up the phone. We make it happen.

I was in New York facing a Chinese non-use removal deadline the next morning and had no idea what our Chinese attorneys were asking for. I messaged Belinda at 2am her time. She replied immediately, explained exactly what the CNIPA needed, and we got it across the line before the deadline.
