In 2023, in order to deeply implement the "Outline of the Construction of a Strong Intellectual Property Power (2021-2035)" and the "National Intellectual Property Protection and Utilization Plan for the 14th Five-Year Plan", earnestly implement the requirements of the "Action Plan for Promoting High-Quality Development of Patent Agency Industry (2022-2025)", promote high-quality development of the patent agency industry, constantly improve the level of drafting of patent application documents, and lay a solid foundation for the comprehensive improvement of patent agency services, the All-China Patent Agents Association (hereinafter referred to as the "Association") launched a national recommendation activity for exemplary invention patent drafting cases.
One of the patent cases we submitted was honored as one of the national exemplary invention patent drafting cases in 2023. This recognition demonstrates AFD China's outstanding capabilities and professional competence in the field of patent drafting. During the initial stage of drafting, based on a thorough understanding of the technical disclosure of the invention and the background technology, we communicated extensively with the client, delved deep into the disclosure, extracted the core improvements as independent claims, and developed multiple dependent claims at different levels of protection. Additionally, we supplemented several specific examples in the specification to fully support the claims. The case was granted within less than 3 months from the issuance of the first office action. Our efforts in handling this case were highly appreciated by our client.
AFD China has always been committed to providing our clients with comprehensive and one-stop intellectual property solutions. With an experienced and highly professional team, we are able to offer a full range of services, including patent prosecution, strategic planning, and rights protection litigation. We consistently strive to provide timely and high-quality agency services to our clients, aiming to assist them in safeguarding their intangible assets effectively.
This recognition marks another significant milestone for AFD China in the field of invention patent drafting. We will continue to uphold the principles of professionalism, integrity, and efficiency, working hand in hand with our clients to create a better future together.
