Lawyer Larry Zhou Provided Legal Support for Dutch Client's Cross-Border Production Project

In October 2025, a Netherlands-based company (hereinafter referred to as the "Client") planned to engage two suppliers in China—one located in Shanghai and the other in Shenzhen—for the mass production of its designed products. The Client provided complete design drawings, technical specifications, and production plans, requiring the suppliers to strictly adhere to these standards during manufacturing.

To ensure the smooth progress of the transaction and mitigate potential intellectual property risks, the Client retained the legal team of Larry Zhou at Landing (Shenzhen) Law Office for comprehensive legal services. Lawyer Larry Zhou served as the lead lawyer responsible for drafting the agreements and coordinating the project.

After gaining an in-depth understanding of the Client's business model and technical requirements, Lawyer Larry conducted a systematic assessment of potential risks in the project, such as design leakage, imitation, and unauthorized use. Based on this assessment, the legal team incorporated meticulously crafted intellectual property protection clauses into the agreements. These clauses explicitly affirmed the Client’s full ownership and exclusive usage rights over the design drawings, production plans, and related technical materials, while strictly limiting the suppliers’ use of such information during and after the contract term.

Additionally, the agreements detailed provisions on product quality standards, inspection procedures, delivery timelines, payment settlement, confidentiality obligations, and liabilities for breach of contract. Particularly in the intellectual property protection section, specific clauses were included to prohibit the suppliers from disclosing, using, or imitating the Client’s designs and processes, either directly or indirectly, for any third party.

After multiple rounds of revisions and negotiations, the agreements were finalized. Throughout this process, the legal team consistently identified and interpreted potential legal risks in the transaction for the Client, while also providing professional advice on supply chain compliance and cross-border dispute resolution.

The Client highly commended the professional competence of Lawyer Larry’s team, particularly praising their outstanding performance in contract drafting, clause design, and communication coordination. The Client acknowledged that these efforts effectively safeguarded its commercial security and intellectual property rights in the Chinese market.
