Guangrui Ma马光瑞
PRC lawyer; holds the PRC Patent Agent Qualification
Guangrui Ma holds bachelor’s degrees in law and engineering. His practice covers intellectual property disputes, complex evidence, technical comparison, cross-border IP strategy and commercial matters.
Overview
He acts for overseas counsel and in-house teams on intellectual property disputes, evidence preservation and related proceedings in China, and provides written opinions and phased reports in English or Chinese. Referring counsel keeps the client relationship; matters of foreign law or before foreign courts are led by counsel qualified there.
He establishes the provable facts first and then chooses the procedure and the legal theory. In complex matters he uses timelines, comparison matrices and evidence tiers so that lead counsel can review the work and report to the client.
