With ten offices around the world including Hong Kong and Shanghai, the Lexinter Law Group are experts at protecting intellectual property in any jurisdiction.
"We have retained the Lexinter Law Group to ensure the manufacturing facility for our LFS scintillation crystals in China is secure, protected and is not open to compromise," said Dr. A.F. Zerrouk, Chairman, President, and CEO of Zecotek Photonics Inc.
"We are very encouraged by the recent comments made by Chinese President Xi Jinping regarding the Chinese economy and enforcement of intellectual property of foreign firms. This reinforces the protection of our patent portfolio surrounding our LFS crystal technology and provides greater confidence to Tier-1 Chinese and international medical device OEM customers operating in and out of China. Most importantly, strong IP regulation together with the best scintillation crystal of its kind, provide for greater sales opportunities for Zecotek.
