IAM Survey Recognises CPA's Top-Quality Patent Services in China & HK SAR
China Patent Agent (H.K.) Ltd. (CPA) is glad to report that it was identified as a highly recommended firm in China for its patent prosecution practice in the recently released IAM Patent 1000 – The World’s Leading Patent Practitioners, a market intelligence guide to leading individual practitioners and law firms delivering top-quality patent services in litigation, licensing and prosecution in 50 key jurisdictions around the globe. The guide was compiled by Intellectual Asset Management (IAM) magazine on the basis of a five-month long research and 1,000 telephone interviews with practitioners of the field.
CPA was one of the four "highly recommended" firms in the category of patent prosecution in China. Comments on CPA related to the honour read:
One of the first firms licensed to prosecute patents in the country, China Patent Agent has an exceptional reputation that stretches back for decades. The team is also active in Hong Kong, making it an ideal choice for clients with pan-China issues. Given its size and history, it has unsurprisingly created an all-encompassing practice, advising on prosecution, re-examination and invalidation, as well as infringement litigation, due diligence investigations, licensing and portfolio management. The team excels at complex matters – as one source confides: "If I had a super-complicated problem, I would go to CPA."
In the same survey, CPA was listed under the gold band in the Hong Kong SAR, reflecting that it has attracted most positive comments compared with other listed peers in the region. Related comments on the firm read:
Combining enormous depth of resource with an esteemed history in the market, this pioneering team is unquestionably a leader in prosecution. The sheer volume of applications that it files in Hong Kong is astounding. The practice has boomed in the last few years and peers agree that “there is now considerable distance between CPA and other firms”. Its large presence in Beijing and Shanghai makes it an ideal choice for clients wishing to prosecute across China.
