We are delighted to announce that Jerry Xia, Partner at GEN Law, has been named to the 2026 edition of the IAM Strategy 300: The World’s Leading IP Strategists.

Published by IAM, a leading international intellectual property platform, the IAM Strategy 300 recognises professionals who stand out for their ability to develop and implement strategies that maximise the value of intellectual property portfolios.

In the 2026 edition, Mr. Xia is ranked in six areas: Brokering, Defensive patent aggregation, IP management consultancy, Legal, Licensing and Technology transfer. This broad recognition reflects his extensive experience across IP strategy and portfolio management, complex legal matters, commercial transactions, patent licensing and technology transfer.

Jerry Xia is the founding and managing partner of GEN Law’s Shanghai office and California liaison office, and the co-chair of the firm’s patent and trade secret practice. With more than 20 years of practice, Mr. Xia has built a strong reputation in intellectual property, dispute resolution, brand licensing, and technology transactions. He has led IP licensing negotiations, conducted due diligence and carried out risk assessments for major cross border and domestic projects, and has secured landmark victories in a wide range of IP enforcement and protection matters such as unprecedented preliminary injunctions in patent and trade secret infringement lawsuits, maximum 5-fold punitive damages and well-known trademark rulings for international brands.

GEN Law congratulates Mr. Xia on this well-deserved recognition and remains committed to helping clients protect, manage and unlock the value of their intellectual property in an increasingly complex global business environment.
