Recently, IAM published the IAM Patent 1000 rankings of 2021. Lung Tin has been ranked in the list for eight consecutive years in both patent prosecution and patent litigation. Mr. Jacob Zhang, a partner and deputy general manager at Lung Tin, was awarded as the recommended individual in the fields of both patent prosecution and patent litigation, as one of the only three recipients in China mainland. Ms. Yan Huang, a partner and assistant general manager of Lung Tin, was awarded as the recommended individual in patent prosecution.
Comments on Lung Tin by IAM 1000:
A “trusted partner for prosecution work”, Lung Tin Intellectual Property Agent Ltd is one of the legacy firms that has represented the interests of foreign filers in China since the inauguration of its young patent system. Now, it is just as adept at shepherding the applications from China’s own innovative upstarts. LG Electronics, BOE, Oppo and Xiaomi are among the patent filers supported by 438 total staff and 180 attorneys. Yan Huang is a tremendous asset to inventors in the mechanical fields, a seasoned veteran at procuring grants: “Her commitment to the company has been great.” Taking his first bow in the IAM Patent 1000 is Jacob Siyue Zhang, a “serious, meticulous, diligent and tireless” practitioner who excels at every stage from application to validity challenge to litigation. “Companies and practitioners in the United States tend to be very results-focused, and are not always equipped to deal with the cultural nuances of enforcing intellectual property in China. Jacob recognises this and provides realistic deliverables at the outset while staying within the confines of our clients’ budgets.”
