Donnie Hao Dong's Bio

董皓中文简介请点此

My name is Hao Dong (Donnie), a licensed Chinese lawyer.  I am experienced in trademark prosecution, copyright management, commercial IP, internet law, mining law and civil litigation in China.

As a blogger, I launched blawgdog in 1998. It might be one of the foremost Chinese legal websites.  You may see all my entries on BlawgDog at here + here . Please visit my English Blawg posts at here. Besides blogging at blawgdog, I am a contributor for 21 Century.  You may also find my spoors at Twitter and Facebook, as well as those well-known Chinese social network websites. 

Previously, I have been an assistant professor (lecturer) at Law Faculty of Yunnan University (2003-2005), a research fellow at the Center for IP Research at China University of Political Science and Law (2004), and a fellow at Harvard Berkman Center for Internet & Society (2009-2011). I got my PhD from China University of Political Science and Law.

As a lawyer, I was called to practise by China Ministry of Justice in 2001. Since 2005, I worked for a Chinese firm.  In 2010, I joined an international firm's IP group, based in Hong Kong.
