Superiority in Prosecuting Patent Application

DRAGON's founder and leading patent attorneys were the earliest members of the SIPO, participating in drafting the Patent Law of the PRC, its Implementing Regulations, the SIPO's "Guidelines for Examination" and its amendments. Based on their superior understanding of the Chinese Patent Law, with an advantage of their close link with the SIPO and patent examiners, and of being able to get the most updated information about the SIPO's patent examination requirements, relying on senior attorneys with experience in patent examination and young attorneys with the strong background in science and abilities to understand the cutting-edged science and technology, DARGON can provide its clients with high quality filing and prosecution of patent applications before the SIPO.

Most of DRAGON's patent attorneys and technical experts hold their PhD or master degrees in science. The majority of them have previously engaged in technical or scientific work before their being patent attorneys. Their technical expertise covers a wide range of scientific and technical disciplines. Their abilities to quickly understand the innovating technology and to thoroughly understand the SIPO patent examination requirements ensure the high quality of the application documents drafted or prepared by DRAGON's attorneys, guarantee full and accurate disclosure of the inventions in the drafted specifications, and assure that the extent of the patent protection asked for by the drafted claims is as wide as possible.Therefore, the value of the inventions is greatly increased, and the interests of the applicants can be protected to the greatest possible degree.

With the profound understanding of the SIPO requirements regarding novelty, inventiveness and practical applicability of inventions, the superior abilities to quickly and accurately understand new technology, and their extensive experience and skill accumulated in the prosecution of numerous patent applications, DRAGON's patent attorneys can well challenge any unfavorable opinions put forwarded by the SIPO examiners during the procedures of substantial examination. They can timely conduct interviews and exchange opinions with the examiners, provide the applicants with their valuable and feasible advices and submit high quality responses to office actions by skillfully amending the claims and/or arguing against the rejections. A unique policy of letting its applicants well understand the opinions of the examiners by providing them with the text of the office actions having been translated into their native language also enables a close cooperation between DRAGON's attorneys and the applicants during the process of responding to the office actions. The professional efforts made by DRAGON's attorneys are usually rewarded by the final grant of the patent in the most applications filed by DRAGON. DRAGON's superiorities in the prosecution of patent applications were well proved by the remarkably high percentage of the patent applications prosecuted by DRAGON and finally granted the patent by the SIPO.
