The 13th China IP International Annual Forum & 2023 Annual Conference of In-house IP Managers in China was concluded successfully on Feb 11 at Broadcasting Tower Hotel Beijing.
The Forum, which builds a communication bridge for scholars, judges, and top practitioners in the IP field, has gained great attention across the country since it was first held in 2011. Recently, we will announce the annual awards presented at the awarding ceremony of the Forum one by one.
In an increasingly complex international political, economic, and legal environment, Chinese innovative companies are facing increasing difficulties in choosing IP and legal services overseas. More and more Chinese companies tend to choose highly localized agencies with cross-cultural communication abilities.
A survey launched by China IP Magazine based on a four-month professional and systematic evaluation generates a list of "Recommended International IP Agencies", which finally came out by comprehensively analyzing indicators of the participating organizations, including their years of establishment, staff size, Chinese client service capability, client evaluation, and their recommendation index.
The award of the "2023 Recommended International IP Agencies" was presented to the winners at the awarding ceremony. The winners are as below: (ranked in Chinese alphabetical order)
