Shenzhen’s content and software economy generates fast infringement cycles: cloning of app interfaces, unauthorised distribution of video packs, game asset theft and OEM firmware disputes. Speed of evidence preservation often matters more than abstract doctrinal debate. Mr. Sun builds enforcement plans that combine platform notices, administrative options and civil filing where damages or injunctions justify cost.
Many disputes fail because ownership was never cleared—contractors without assignment deeds, joint development without written splits, or employee works without proper service-work analysis. He starts with chain-of-title hygiene before suing. Licensing programmes for software and content need audit rights, territory definitions and update/support boundaries that match how products are actually sold.
Online, he prepares takedown packages with authentication-minded evidence capture and escalation paths for repeat infringers. Defendants receive equally rigorous help: independent creation records, licence defences and challenges to inflated damages theories.
Provide sample infringing URLs, registration certificates if any, development contracts and a timeline of first publication. State whether you need emergency takedowns or a full civil strategy. Engagement terms are confirmed in writing via inquiries to this profile.
Shenzhen disputes Mr. Sun handles often involve source-code escrow fights, game asset packs reused across studios, and industrial design drawings walking out with departing engineers. He combines copyright analysis with trade-secret and employment contract tools, because one legal theory rarely covers the whole fact pattern.
Customs and trade-fair strategies can stop infringing hardware at the border or on a booth floor faster than a damages trial. He assesses whether the rights package and product identity evidence are ready for those channels. For purely online piracy, he sequences platform notices with civil preservation orders where defendants are identifiable.
Licensing programmes for SDK publishers need metrics definitions—MAU, devices, seats—that match how Chinese customers actually deploy software. Ambiguous metrics create payment disputes that look like IP cases but are really contract accounting. He drafts for auditability.
Cantonese and English capability helps when evidence and witnesses sit in Hong Kong or overseas OEM offices. He plans translation and notarial steps into the timeline so hearing dates are not lost to paperwork.
Copyright damages in China may involve actual loss, infringer’s profits or statutory ranges depending on proof quality. Mr. Sun builds evidence for one coherent theory rather than throwing every number at the tribunal. Sales data, licence price benchmarks and download metrics are packaged with authentication steps in mind.
For hardware with copyrighted firmware or UI assets, he evaluates customs recordation and exhibition complaint routes. A weekend trade fair can move more infringing stock than a year of online skirmishes; readiness of certificates and product identity photos decides whether booth action is possible.
Settlement leverage often comes from injunction risk and platform delisting more than from theoretical maximum damages. He structures settlements with verification rights, destruction certificates and staged payments. Repeat breach terms are drafted so that monitoring is practical for a Shenzhen rights-holder without a giant enforcement budget.
Open-source compliance disputes—copyleft contamination in commercial products—require technical inventory work. He coordinates with engineers to map dependencies and designs cure plans that sales teams can explain to enterprise customers demanding software bills of materials.
Clients receive bilingual demand letters when overseas OEMs are in the chain. He plans service of process and evidence notarisation timelines into the commercial calendar so that “we will sue” is not an empty threat timed after product windows close.
Clients who need a rapid first read should still provide a short chronology and the core documents; even a partial package allows prioritisation of interim steps versus longer investigation or filing workstreams.
