/>iOn August 23, 2021, the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) announced the administrative punishment of 71 Chinese patent firms and individuals for the unlicensed practice of patent law. Total fines exceeded 5 million RMB and usually included confiscation of illegal income as well as a fine that was a multiple of the illegal income. The punished firms and individuals were in Shanghai, Liaoning, Jiangsu, Anhui, Shandong, Hunan, Guangdong, Sichuan, and Ningxia. While the sanctioned firms seemed to cater to local clients, foreign applicants may nonetheless want to double check that their foreign associates were not listed.
