It is best to judge the agency according to the following aspects.

1, scale. Simply put, how many agents an agent has, how many applications a year, how many authorization rates, and what technical fields are mainly engaged in are all clear information that can be made public at any time. It is a very good reference value for some enterprises that don't know much about trading. Of course, comprehensive universities will have greater advantages. In fact, I also suggest that qualified enterprises choose institutions with early establishment and large business volume as their primary partners.

2. qualifications. Check whether the agency has the corresponding agency qualification. Patent agency qualification, trademark agency qualification and foreign patent agency qualification. The agency qualification can be inquired through the website of China National Intellectual Property Administration.

3. Word of mouth. The reputation of institutions is not only reflected in the reputation of the industry, but also quantified in the data. Back to the first article, by consulting the patent applications of industry leaders, we can easily know which agents have better and more stable customers. Although there are certain risks for competitors to choose the same agent, a solid "word of mouth" is a huge advantage that cannot be ignored. However, it should also be noted that large enterprises with large application scale will inevitably have multiple agencies, so it is necessary to carefully choose which are the "core partners" of the above enterprises.
