A Taiwan associatebuilt for the way you work
WISECODE acts as Taiwan local counsel for overseas IP firms across trademark and patent prosecution, office-action responses, oppositions, invalidations, renewals and FTO support. We also cover China — China trademark and patent filing and China patent FTO through our established China partner, with a qualified PRC patent agent (中國專利代理人) on our team — so you can route both Taiwan and China through one associate. With 5,500+ IP cases across 90+ jurisdictions since 2016, we combine the reliability you need with the responsiveness larger firms rarely offer: a partner-level point of contact, fixed-fee transparency, conflict checks within 2 business days, and standardized English or Japanese reporting.

Why a mid-size firm, not a giant
At the largest firms, a referred matter can become a small file in a very large queue. We are large enough to be reliable — 5,500+ cases across 90+ jurisdictions — and small enough that you reach the people actually handling your work. That combination of proven scale and direct, fast access is what overseas firms tell us they want and rarely get.
Onboarding a matter
Send us the matter details and we will run a conflict check, confirm scope, and return a fixed-fee quote — typically within 2 business days. We then handle filing and prosecution and report at every step.
