HONG KONG, May 21, 2025 – We are thrilled to announce that today, May 21, 2025, Eagle IP celebrates its 20th anniversary, marking two decades of dedication to client success and innovation in patent law. Founded on May 21, 2005 by Dr. Jacqueline Lui (Jackie), the firm has grown from its humble beginnings into a respected name in the industry.

In a recent team celebration, Jackie, the firm’s founder, shared her reflections on Eagle IP’s journey. “Starting Eagle IP was a leap of faith driven by my commitment to my clients and their patent portfolios,” she said. “Transferring two significant portfolios laid the foundation for the beginnings of the firm and paved the way towards our success. I’m grateful for the perseverance that carried us through tough times. Our CPR culture—caring, professional, and responsive—has defined who we are and will guide us forward.”

The anniversary event highlighted the firm’s strong culture, with team members who have been with the firm for over a decade sharing memories of growth under Jackie’s leadership.

Jennifer Che, current President and Managing Director who “took the baton” of Eagle IP leadership last year from Jackie, expressed her commitment to upholding these values while driving expansion, noting the firm’s increasing client base and active participation in global conferences.

Eagle IP looks to the future with optimism, dedicated to maintaining its high standards, fostering continuous learning, and building stronger team relationships. Jackie and her husband HC Lui emphasized the power of teamwork, assuring continued support as the firm embarks on its next chapter.

A huge THANK YOU to all our clients, mentors, and colleagues who have supported us through the years.
