THE HISTORY of
our firm dates back to January 1957 when China Council for the Promotion
of International Trade (CCPIT), which is a non-governmental trade promotion
organization, was authorized by the Central Government to organize a trademark
agency to handle exclusively foreign-related trademark matters. Until
the mid-1980's the agency had been the sole trademark agency in China.
A patent agency was organized within CCPIT in the early 1980's when China
began to establish a patent system. Attorneys of the agency were appointed
members of the survey teams observing and studying major foreign patent
systems abroad, entrusted by the government to organize training courses
for patent attorney candidates, and participated in the drafting of the
first Chinese Patent Law and other related laws and regulations. The agency
was authorized by the government as the first Chinese intellectual property
law firm to handle foreign-related patent matters. By merging the two
agencies in 1993, we have acquired a team of the most experienced professionals
in China.
THE FIRM has witnessed the marvelous changes of the past five decades
in China, and has been highly regarded for its role in the promotion of,
the participation in and, the establishment and development of the intellectual
property system in China. Through several decades of practice, the firm
has gained abundant experiences and cultivated a team of professionals
with ample expertise in every respect of intellectual property field.
