In addition to leading IP firms, MIP has also revealed its lists of global outstanding IP practitioners for 2022, and we are pleased to share that seven of our attorneys were on the lists, namely, our general manager Mr. Wu Yuhe and assistant general manager Mr. Xiong Yanfeng as Patent Star; attorneys Mr. Ke Ke, Mr. Tang Chunlong and Mr. Li Xiao as Rising Star; and attorneys Mr. Liu Peng and Mr. Wang Liang as Notable Practitioner. The outstanding practitioner lists were determined through broad-based surveys by MIP's research teams based in London, New York, and Hong Kong in combination with feedback and comments from peers and clients.

Earlier in June, CPA was named, for the fourth consecutive year, as MIP's firm of the year for patent prosecution in China.
