CPA Publishes its 40th Anniversary Anthology "An Unswerving Journey Towards Prominency"
China Patent Agent (H.K.) Ltd. (CPA) has recently published its 40th anniversary anthology "An Unswerving Journey Towards Prominency", as a celebration of the firm's 40th anniversary (in 2024). Headquartered in Hong Kong, CPA is one of the three earliest-established patent and trademark firms accompanying the promulgation of the Patent Law of the People's Republic of China.
The 450-page anthology contains nearly 70 articles contributed by colleagues sharing with us their cherished memories and anecdotes of work life, challenges at work (a few of them touching upon the unforgettable experiences of working under the three-year pandemic), personal career growth and pursuits, and their witness of IP development of the country, among others. The writings, together with a wealth of pictures and a list of milestone events of our firm, present a rich profile of CPA, from its nascent years to the present, now housing 550-plus staff across a network of offices in Hong Kong, Beijing, Shenzhen, Shanghai, New York, Tokyo and Munich.
The anthology also includes a selection of 40 IP cases, with highlights and briefs, from all the cases our firm has handled over the decades, many of which being landmark cases (including cases seeking protection in foreign jurisdictions) related to difficult legal issues or cutting-edge technology. This is intended as a tribute to the professionalism of our different generations of attorneys and a portrayal of the positive results they brought in ensuring fair IP protection for domestic and foreign parties alike in the course of the nation's IP development.
As noted in the anthology, we are full of gratitude, to our clients for their trust and support and to our staff for their continuous efforts, for what we have achieved and the recognition and accolades gained. With a new journey ahead, we will transform the gratitude into motivation for moving forward and continue to provide high-quality services to our clients in adherence with the firm's long-standing principle of integrity and trustworthiness.
