He has been invited to teach at professional training programs for patent agents organized by the IP authorities of Beijing, Jiangsu, and Guangdong. In addition, he has frequently delivered keynote speeches at various IP seminars and salons held in China and abroad.
During the training, Gary Wu focused on key issues such as why parties should initiate patent invalidation during litigation, how to find evidence to invalidate an opposing party’s patent, and provided in-depth explanations through concrete case examples.
