Known as the Oscar of Intellectual Property, the Global IP Awards recognize the outstanding achievements of IP law and attorney firms in litigation, prosecution and transactional work during 2019. This year the award ceremony was attended by over 250 leading law and attorney firm professionals from more than 50 jurisdictions. Noticeably, the award for “2020 China Trademark Firm of the Year” was won by Chang Tsi & Partners, which was selected out from the five nominated agencies of the most strength and achievements in China`s IP field as the only winner after thorough market survey and wide peer comments. And this was the first award of Chang Tsi & Partners after the consecutive years of nomination.

The year of 2019 was full of opportunities and challenges, while Chang Tsi & Partners has firmly kept carrying out reform and innovation, such as the launch of a new office management system, the large-scale development of its infrastructure and the reform in its current organizational structure and business operating mode to be adaptive to the new office management system. Besides, the firm has offered services to much more diverse clients in more markets, completed prominent achievements in team and firm culture construction, and met the business objectives set earlier in 2019 even under the greater context of the China-US trade conflict and the economic downturn. Many complex cases represented by Chang Tsi & Partners last year were very influential and inspiring, which helped the firm win recognition from clients and the industry colleagues.

As 2020 has come, Chang Tsi & Partners will confidently implement its initial intention of keeping clients centered and maximizing clients` interests. Every member of Chang Tsi & Partners will continue making their efforts to push forward the development of the firm and the IP industry and to create a good business environment for both Chinese and foreign clients.
