Recently, world-renowned IP business media platform Intellectual Asset Management (IAM) released the 2023 edition of IAM Patent 1000. AFD China was again recognized as a leading firm in the listing. Since 2016, this has been the seventh time AFD China was listed among the best IP law firms in China (silver band), and our president Ms. Xia Zheng was once again identified as a leading patent attorney.

IAM Patent 1000 conducts an evaluation of patent practitioners in various jurisdictions around the world each year, with a focus on the aspects of patent prosecution, patent litigation and patent commercialization. After several months of surveys and interviews, IAM identifies the leading patent firms and professionals based on a comprehensive evaluation of their client feedback, typical cases, service quality, business scopes, teams, understanding about industry development, recent development and growth momentum.

We can never make such good achievements in patent prosecution without our clients’ encouragement or support over the years. Taking this opportunity, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to all of our clients.

These achievements not only show the client’s recognition of our service attitude and service quality, but also strengthen our determination to keep providing timely and quality services for our clients, which is essential for the continuous development of our firm. We will continue to meet the changing needs of clients, enhance our professional capabilities, adapt to changes in the market and in the laws, thereby safeguarding the clients’ intangible assets.

Our gratitude also goes to our colleagues who have been growing together with AFD China. We hope that we could continue to move hand in hand on the journey to the future.
