WTR 1000 Ranks CPA a Gold Firm in Trademark Prosecution & Recommends 5 CPA Senior Trademark Attorneys

The 2026 edition of WTR 1000, which identifies top trademark professionals in 80-plus key jurisdictions around the globe, was recently published by World Trademark Review (WTR). This year China Patent Agent (H.K.) Ltd. (CPA) was again ranked a gold firm in trademark prosecution and strategy and a bronze firm in trademark enforcement and litigation in China. Our firm has been on this list for years in succession.

The following captures the commendation of CPA in the WTR guide:

"A venerable player in the IP arena since 1984, China Patent Agent (HK) Ltd commands a robust presence with branches in Beijing, Hong Kong, Munich, Tokyo and New York, fielding over 560 professionals including 30 trademark attorneys to deliver a comprehensive suite of trademark services. A gold-tier outfit for prosecution excellence, the practice serves an international clientele across electronics, consumer products and manufacturing, blending deep-rooted experience with cross-jurisdictional savvy to fortify brand assets."

In addition to the firm itself, CPA's seasoned trademark professionals have also been consistently recognised in the WTR 1000. This year five CPA senior trademark attorneys were recommended: CPA deputy general manager Mr. Hu Gang, International Filing Department deputy manager Mr. Li Yue, and trademark attorney Mr. Justin Jiang in trademark prosecution and strategy as well as trademark enforcement and litigation categories; and Trademark Department deputy manager Ms. Nicole Yu and trademark attorney Ms. Li Nan in trademark prosecution and strategy category.

The WTR 1000 rankings are based on qualitative research including face-to-face and telephone interviews with hundreds of lawyers, attorneys and clients of the candidate firms, taking into consideration, among others, the firms' depth of expertise, market presence and level of work typically entrusted.
