Model service providers ready to lead industry

The State Intellectual Property Office announced the country's first group of model service providers in the intellectual property sphere on Monday.

A total of 46 IP agencies across the country made the list. Their businesses cover a wide range from filing documentation and representation at court to asset evaluation, tech-financing services and software development for IP information.

"We hope to foster a group of IP service institutes that are building up their brands for their professional and international operations and play a leading role in the IP service industry," said Gan Shaoning, deputy commissioner of SIPO.
