London-based intellectual property firm Rouse has opened an office in the Chinese technology hub of Shenzhen – the latest global firm to do so since firms began launching outposts in the southern China city in 2017.

The office provides consultancy services for Chinese companies looking to expand abroad and foreign companies seeking to enter the Shenzhen market. Linda Chang, Rouse’s Shanghai-based China general manager, is the sole IP lawyer in the Shenzhen office, according to its website.
