We are happy to announce that AFD China and our president Ms. Xia Zheng were once again named as a recommended firm and a leading individual for patent prosecution by 2019 IAM Patent 1000.

Besides being listed among the top performers, we also received positive comments:

"AFD China is the world’s single largest filer of Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) applications... according to WIPO’s 2018 PCT Yearly Report..." "Awe-inspiring statistics aside, AFD China consistently receives client feedback that testifies to the outfit’s steadfast commitment to outstanding personal service." "It is 'a responsive Chinese law firm able to meet tough client demands', which should be on any serious rights holder's list." Ms. Xia Zheng is regarded as "an emblem of professionalism, pragmatism and proactivity".

This is not only a great recognition of our performance, but also puts forward new requirements and new heights for our future works. It urges us to keep improving ourselves and provide more satisfactory services to our clients.
