Why LawMay

At LawMay, we focus on one thing: helping businesses survive and win in high-stakes U.S. intellectual property disputes. Not in theory. Not on paper. But in courtrooms, before judges, under emergency timelines, and against opponents who are already moving.

We are a U.S. law firm built for cross-border IP conflict at its most intense moments — when listings are frozen, funds restrained, injunctions entered, or deadlines measured in days, not months. Our lawyers are admitted in both the United States and China, practice daily before U.S. federal courts and the USPTO, and understand not only U.S. procedure, but how those procedures collide with real-world business operations, especially in cross-border commerce.

IP litigation, end to end — with speed that matters

LawMay concentrates on U.S. federal intellectual property litigation, including patent, trademark, copyright, trade dress, and unfair competition disputes. We routinely act in jurisdictions where IP conflicts are most aggressive and most consequential — including the Central and Northern Districts of California, Northern District of Illinois, Eastern District of Texas, Western District of Washington, Eastern District of Virginia, and Southern District of Florida.

Our experience covers the full lifecycle of IP disputes:

emergency relief such as TROs, preliminary injunctions, and asset restraints
declaratory judgment actions to restore delisted products
patent validity challenges before the PTAB
Schedule A litigation and mass enforcement cases
ITC Section 337 investigations
appellate proceedings before the Federal Circuit and regional circuits

We do not hand cases off. We do not silo litigation from strategy. We move quickly, coordinate tightly, and design each procedural step with a clear commercial objective in mind.

Built for cross-border reality, not just U.S. doctrine

Cross-border IP disputes fail when lawyers understand only one side of the equation.

LawMay’s team includes partners admitted in California, New York, Washington State, and China, many of whom have practiced long-term on both sides of the Pacific. This dual qualification is not a credential — it is an operating advantage. It allows us to:

communicate seamlessly with decision-makers in China and the U.S.
anticipate evidentiary and compliance risks before they surface in court
align U.S. litigation strategy with supply chains, platforms, and enforcement realities

We work across time zones, languages, and legal systems so that critical decisions are made quickly and with full context — not lost in translation or delayed by structure.

Proven results in real disputes, not hypothetical wins

LawMay’s recent matters include:

obtaining “reverse” TROs and preliminary injunctions to restore high-value product listings within days
vacating default judgments and recovering six-figure sums already seized
defeating TRO and PI applications through jurisdictional, procedural, and Rule 11 challenges
forcing dismissal of patent, trademark, and copyright actions through targeted motion practice
resolving Schedule A and mass enforcement cases on terms that preserve clients’ businesses

These results are not anomalies. They reflect a litigation style that is procedural, strategic, and deeply familiar with how IP enforcement actually operates in U.S. courts and on major platforms.

Focused, not bloated — and intentionally so

LawMay is not a general-practice firm. We are not built to do everything for everyone.

Every lawyer on our core team works in cross-border disputes, intellectual property enforcement, and related compliance matters. That focus allows us to move faster, anticipate opponents’ tactics earlier, and allocate resources where they matter most. We do not rely on volume. We rely on judgment.

Clients choose LawMay not because we are the largest firm in the room, but because when the situation is urgent, technical, and commercially sensitive, we know exactly what to do next — and how to do it under pressure.

A firm designed for today’s disputes — and tomorrow’s risks

Modern IP conflicts do not stop at court filings. They extend to platforms, regulators, supply chains, and reputational risk.

LawMay helps clients design IP strategies that are not only defensible in court, but resilient in business. From freedom-to-operate analysis and portfolio planning, to enforcement response and litigation defense, we help clients move forward with clarity rather than hesitation.

IP disputes are rarely optional.
But choosing the right counsel always is.

At LawMay, we are ready to act when timing, precision, and strategy make the difference.
