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.

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.
