AGIP Shanghai Office Honored with “Benchmark Partner of Pudong Professional Services” by Pudong New Area Government

SHANGHAI - Abu-Ghazaleh Intellectual Property (AGIP) Shanghai Office was awarded the prestigious title of “Benchmark Partner of Pudong Professional Services” by the Pudong New Area Government at the Pudong New Area Intellectual Property Promotion Week special event held on April 23, 2026.

Under the guidance of the Shanghai Pudong New Area People’s Government and the Shanghai Intellectual Property Administration, the event, themed “Intellectual Property Safeguarding Enterprise's Global Expansion and Stimulating Industrial Innovation Momentum,” took place in Shanghai's Pudong New Area. The event received significant attention and was of high specification, with leaders from the regional intellectual property bureau, government, judicial bureau, universities and public security bureau. This fully demonstrates Pudong New Area's high emphasis on intellectual property work and its commitment to supporting professional service institutions in driving enterprise innovation and development. The activity aims to implement the national strategy of building a strong intellectual property nation and Shanghai's initiative to strengthen its IP capabilities, fostering a high-quality development environment for the IP sector and assisting enterprises in enhancing their overseas intellectual property risk response and innovation capabilities.

The award specifically recognizes AGIP’s outstanding contributions throughout 2025 in providing high-quality intellectual property services to enterprises in the region, particularly in facilitating their overseas expansion and effectively managing international IP risks. As the only intellectual property firm from the Middle East with a physical office in China, AGIP’s unique positioning has enabled it to bridge the Middle East, China, and international markets, delivering professional, cross-regional IP support that has yielded tangible results for Chinese enterprises “going global.” The Pudong New Area Government granted AGIP this benchmark honor in recognition of these significant achievements.

Mr. Webster Hou, In Charge of AGIP’s Shanghai Office, represented AGIP at the event and personally received the award. During the event, AGIP was honored alongside renowned foreign-invested intellectual property institutions such as Hogan Lovells Shanghai Office, as well as other leading IP agencies in the Shanghai region.
