About | My Site 11

Catherine Zhang is the founder of CYZ Law, a boutique practice focused on trademark prosecution and related advisory works.

Years spent in intellectual property litigation settings, together with experience in bench trail practice, continue to shape how she evaluates trademark matters before filing. Having worked around infringement disputes, she approaches matters with an understanding of how trademark rights may later be questioned or challenged.

Throughout the prosecution process, she considers how filing decisions may affect the usability, strength, and long-term value of a mark. The objective is not limited to obtaining registration, but also to supporting marks that remain practical and effective as businesses grow and evolve.

In addition, she works with clients in Chinese and Japanese when needed, drawing on fluency in both languages to support direct communication and a stronger understanding of client priorities, business concerns, and decision-making processes across different cultural contexts.
