THE HISTORY of the firm goes back to January 1957, when a trademark agency was established within the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, a non-governmental trade promotion organization, to represent foreign companies before Chinese authorities. The agency was the sole trademark agency in China until the mid-1980s. A patent agency was organized by CCPIT in the early 1980s, when China began to establish its patent system. The patent agency was authorized as the first Chinese intellectual property law firm to have cross-border representation. In 1993, the two agencies merged to form the CCPIT Patent and Trademark Law Office.
THEIR REPUTATION for professionalism is widely recognized among peer professionals and clients, both domestically and internationally. Since 1999, the firm has been ranked among the top Chinese intellectual property law firms in the annual surveys conducted by publisher Managing Intellectual Property and has been nominated time and again as a leading Chinese intellectual property firm by institutes such as Asia Law & Practice, Asia Legal Business, Intellectual Asset Management and Chambers & Partners.
