On May 22, Asian Legal Business (ALB), a renowned legal media, announced its annual 2023 ALB China IP Rankings, which selected the top law firms in China with the most proficient and outstanding practices in the areas of patents, trademarks and copyrights. With its professional strength, quality services and excellent reputation in the field of intellectual property, JT&N was honored to be ranked in both Patent and Trademarks / Copyright lists. This is the seventh time that JT&N has won this award.
ALB stated in its report that the development of IP practice in China over the past year experienced two general trends: increasing quantity and improving quality. And both two trends affect the work of IP lawyers. In terms of quantity, in 2022, China became the first country in the world to have more than 3 million valid domestic invention patents, among which corporate inventors played an active role, especially the high-tech enterprises and the specialized and sophisticated “little giant” firms that produce novel and unique products with more than 1.51 million valid invention patents, accounting for 65% of the total number of domestic enterprises. In terms of quality, the government keeps guiding the high-quality development of intellectual property rights. Last year, the number of invention patents of high value, i.e., those related to strategic industries, valid for more than 10 years or having received national awards, increased by 24%. China is also focusing on fostering patent-intensive industries, especially in the fields of information technology management and computer technology, which have seen rapid growth in patents.
Since the Firm’s inception, JT&N has striven to establish a service brand centering on intellectual property, guided by the principle of “being oriented to science and technology fields, science and technology companies, scientific and technological achievements and scientific and technological talents.” JT&N’s IP Practice is widely recognized for its expertise in assisting companies to establish effective IP protection mechanisms and expertise in patent, trademark, software and trade secret litigation, providing clients with high-quality legal services related to international IP protection, international technology transfer, technical service and international trademark licensing.
