Trademark strategy is an important part of intellectual property strategy. Vigorously cultivating trademarks with international competitiveness and developing trademark economy is an important means to enhance the international competitiveness of enterprises and increase China's international discourse power, and is also the only way to change the development mode of service economy. In the past, there were institutional barriers for lawyers in trademark agency, and they were not allowed to represent trademark applications, objections, disputes, reexamination and other cases, which made lawyers basically isolated from trademark agency business. In order to remove the obstacles of lawyers' trademark agency business, Ma Xiang has continuously appealed to the Legislative Affairs Office of the State Council, the Ministry of justice, the all China Association of lawyers, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce and other departments to loosen the restrictions on Lawyers' trademark agency business through various forms such as legislative proposals, situation response letters, and seminars.

With the active efforts of the Ministry of justice, the National Association of lawyers and other competent departments as well as all sectors of the society, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce revised the "measures for the administration of trademark agency". In November 2012, the Ministry of justice and the State Administration for Industry and Commerce jointly promulgated the "measures for the administration of law firms engaging in trademark agency business", which finally opened the door to the majority of lawyers.
