Career highlights:
Jun has had extensive experience and success in litigation and arbitration, especially in cases involving intellectual property rights. In 2005, he won a trademark infringement suit on behalf of Yamaha against four notable Chinese enterprises. The PRC’s Supreme People’s Court held the Chinese enterprises liable for trademark infringement, awarding Jun’s client 8.3 million RMB (1.1 million USD) in damages, which Jun’s team was able to successfully collect in full. This case was the largest amount of damages ever awarded to a foreign company for trademark infringement in China. For this remarkable achievement, Broad & Bright was granted the “Asia-Pacific Trademark Case 2008 Award” by Managing IP, a leading international magazine on Intellectual Property.
In 2007, Jun represented a large Japanese electrical manufacturer against five domestic companies in an unfair competition case regarding imitation of industrial designs. The judgment was the first in China to base its decision on the PRC’s Anti-Unfair Competition Law for protection of industrial designs, opening up a new path for protection of industrial designs.
During the 2009 global financial crisis, Jun successfully recovered over 10 million USD for U.S. creditors in China. He also headed contract and negotiations for a joint venture project, valued at 7 billion USD, between a large Japanese heavy industry company and a Chinese counterpart.
Jun’s recent work includes representing a well-known Japanese machinery manufacturer as the plaintiff in several patent infringement litigations, as well as representing a famous Japanese chemical company as the plaintiff in a trade secret infringement civil litigation, a number of patent ownership litigations, and a criminal proceeding.
