3 CPA Senior Attorneys on its List of Recommended Professionals
The 2021 edition of IAM Patent: The World's Leading Patent Professionals, an authoritative guide for the world’s top patent firms and professionals, was recently published by the UK magazine Intellectual Asset Management (IAM). China Patent Agent (H.K.) Ltd. (CPA) is pleased to share that it was named a "highly recommended" firm in patent prosecution and a "recommended" firm in patent litigation in China. Reflecting CPA's overall strong performance in the patent field, the honours have been conferred to our firm for 10 consecutive years since the inception of the rankings.
Specifically, IAM's comments on our firm read as:
China Patent Agent (HK) Ltd is one of the pioneering prosecution megafirms in China, with a steady stream of work on the non-contentious side for its 'experienced, knowledgeable, polyglot staff' keeping the firm comfortably at the top. CPA is also attracting increased notice in disputes thanks to several talented legal minds and a focus on high-profile tech areas. A parade of significant SEP holders have entrusted patent validity work to CPA professionals, who 'stand out from the crowd, coming up with impressive arguments in a short time frame and giving star performances in oral hearings'.
In addition, CPA has 3 senior patent attorneys on the lists of IAM's "recommended" patent professionals in China, namely, CPA general manager Mr. Wu Yuhe and assistant general manager Mr. Xiong Yanfeng in the category of patent litigation; deputy general manager Mr. Yuan Shaohui in the category of patent prosecution.
This year's IAM rankings were derived on the basis of extensive research as well as 1,800 interviews conducted with attorneys at law, patent attorneys, and in-house counsel over 5 months in key jurisdictions, taking into account such factors as candidates' depth of knowledge, professional skills, market presence, service scope and quality, as well as peer and client feedback.
