Hsu studied chemistry at National Chung Hsing University, where he completed a Bachelor of Science degree in 1986. National Chung Hsing University is a major Taiwanese research institution with longstanding strengths in agriculture, science, engineering, and related professional disciplines. His scientific education provided a foundation for later legal work involving patents, chemicals, and chemistry.
Hsu began his legal and intellectual-property career with Saint Island P&T Office, where he worked from 1988 to 1989. He then joined Taiwan International Patent Law Offices, remaining there from 1989 to 1992. The work placed his chemistry background in the setting of Taiwan's developing patent and technology-transfer practice.
In 1992, Hsu became associated with Tsar & Tsai Law Firm in Taipei. His practice has included general practice, foreign investment, trade and arbitration, litigation, contracts, corporations, taxation, banking, insurance, securities, trademarks, patents, and copyright law, with particular specialization in patents, chemicals, and chemistry. Tsar & Tsai's practice serves domestic and international clients in commercial, financial, corporate, and intellectual-property matters involving Taiwan and cross-border business.
