The WIPR rankings were derived on the basis of submissions from law firms, client referees, telephone interviews, and in-house research taking into consideration various factors. As described by the WIPR,

"Firms achieving high ranking placements often possess a significant scale and long- standing influence within China’s IP ecosystem … consistently handling an immense volume of patent applications annually, demonstrating unparalleled efficiency and operational capacity in prosecution. 

"A critical factor for recognition is demonstrated strength in litigation and dispute resolution. The ranked firms are celebrated for handling the most complex domestic patent disputes, including matters related to standard-essential patents (SEP), FRAND licensing, and achieving landmark legislative precedents in China's courts."

"Their expertise in enforcement and invalidation proceedings is often leveraged to inform their prosecution practice, enabling them to design patent protection strategies that foresee and mitigate future litigation risks."
