Why are there so many intellectual property agencies in China now?

Trademark office has a low threshold. Many companies that act as intellectual property agents are actually only qualified as trademark agents, but many of them also play the role of "patent black agents" under the propaganda of patent agents. Patent applicants should pay special attention to the entrusted matters. Specifically, you can check the "Intellectual Property Agency" that is qualified to represent the patent on the website of China National Intellectual Property Administration.
