We do Not take obtaining a certificate as the ultimate goal of the patent and trademark application. Instead, we regard patents and trademarks as the seeds of corporate intellectual property. To play a leading role in future market competition, an enterprise must have the seeds well cultivated. Therefore, the excellency of service quality and the foresight in business are the directions of our patent and trademark prosecution.
