IAM Patent 1000 Continues to Rank CPA a "Gold Band" Firm and Recommends 8 CPA Patent Professionals

Intellectual Asset Management (IAM) magazine has recently released its 2026 edition of IAM Patent 1000 – The World’s Leading Patent Professionals, an authoritative guide for the world’s top-tier patent firms and professionals.

In this year's IAM rankings, China Patent Agent (H.K.) Ltd. (CPA) was recognised again as a "gold band" firm for both patent prosecution and patent litigation work in China. Thanks to industry and client recognition of our sustained solid performance in the patent field, CPA has been on IAM Patent 1000's recommendation list for 15 consecutive years ever since its launch fifteen years ago.

Some client commendation on our firm quoted in the IAM guide read as:

 "China Patent Agent is absolutely one of the best IP firms in China, and as the most famous and the oldest IP firm in the jurisdiction, it is truly a trustworthy, friendly and reliable firm";

"an excellent track record in defending our patents in China".

The IAM Patent 1000 rankings were the results of a five-month qualitative research involving 900 interviews with numerous attorneys-at-law, patent attorneys and in-house counsel for their comments on the leading players in the field. The rankings took into account factors such as depth of knowledge, market presence, and the level of work on which the firms are typically instructed.
