Executive Summary from Jing’s final report:
Janlea Trademark Agency is a trademark firm recognized by the State Department of Industry
and Commerce. The main service provided by the firm is to provide counsel to international
complaints of domestic violations of international copyright and patent law. A complaint filters

flow of a case always starts out with an investigation.

agency, is to file these papers and to attempt to appeal any unfavorable decisions. My job was
to translate a lot of decisions and write memorandums to give American clients summarizing
the decisions and potential routes of appeal. I also met with visiting clients with my supervisor
to aid in the translation if necessary and to take notes for filing. The experience imparted on me
an incredible global perspective on the law and international relations. It let me in on the
complex and delicate world of international patent disputes and the care needed to handled
such cases as to placate both parties. This perspective is going to be invaluable to me as I
embark on my job hunt abroad. The experience has truly prepared me for the level of
professionalism appropriate on the global stage.
