Short Bio / Excerpt:
Dr. Jingwen Liu is a distinguished legal scholar and expert in intellectual property (IP), technology law, and international trade, currently serving as an Assistant Professor at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. Her career seamlessly bridges rigorous academic research with high-level international legal practice. Before entering academia full-time, she established a strong foundational understanding of the legal landscape by working as a paralegal at Deacons, one of Hong Kong's most prestigious top-tier law firms.
Her exceptional academic credentials span multiple jurisdictions, making her a highly versatile legal authority. Dr. Liu successfully earned her PhD from The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), where she conducted advanced legal research. Displaying immense global mobility and competency, she has qualified for the bar in two major global economies, holding both the PRC Bar and the California Bar qualifications. Her expertise is further enhanced by her time as a Graduate Intern with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in Beijing, where she engaged deeply with international alternative dispute resolution framework and global intellectual property mechanisms.
Dr. Liu’s research portfolio stands at the cutting edge of modern jurisprudence, focusing heavily on emerging technology, intellectual property law, and the legal dynamics of the U.S.-China technology race. She is an extraordinarily prolific author whose scholarship has been selected for publication by the world’s most elite academic presses, including Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press, and Routledge. Her published articles and books dissect highly complex, contemporary challenges such as the legal paradoxes of artificial intelligence (AI) export controls, the enforceability of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), Standard-Essential Patents (SEPs), and comparative fashion IP frameworks across the United States and China.
Beyond her classrooms and research, Dr. Liu is a highly active and visible leader within the global legal community. She serves a prominent international role as the Co-Chair of the "Trade War & Law" committee, guiding critical institutional dialogues regarding geopolitical trade compliance and multinational legal policies. Additionally, she has dedicated significant time to civic and public legal education, formerly serving as a Legal Journalist and the Hong Kong Chief of Staff for JURIST, a reputable legal news and commentary platform focusing on global legal developments and human rights.
Today, Dr. Jingwen Liu stands as an influential voice in the Asian and global legal spheres, shaping how academic institutions and industries understand the rapid evolution of technology and law. By transitioning from practical litigation spaces in Hong Kong and global governance groups like WIPO to the lecture halls of NTU Singapore, she continues to foster the next generation of legal minds. Her insights into cross-border IP regulations and trade friction remain invaluable to tech developers, policymakers, and legal practitioners worldwide.
