Two decades. It is both a measure of how far a company has traveled and a mirror reflecting the scale of its ambition. For WEIPR Group, a leading intellectual property services firm, the twenty-year journey has been defined by a single, unflinching belief: in an industry of relentless change, you must continually break through just to stay alive – and then thrive.
On May 15, 2026, WEIPR Group gathered its entire team to celebrate its 20th anniversary under the banner “Breaking Through, Staying Alive.” The event was not only a heartfelt tribute to two decades of resilience and innovation but a bold declaration of intent for the decades to come. From the headquarters to the Optics Valley and Xiangyang branches, every WEIPR member joined the shared moment of pride, reflection, and forward-looking energy.
Creative Beginnings, Shared Wishes
The celebration started with a one-of-a-kind check-in experience. Instead of a standard sign-in sheet, team members wrote their names on star-shaped wooden pieces and dropped them into a large wish bottle, symbolizing how individual sparks unite to form a guiding flame. Nearby, a 20th-anniversary photo wall became a magnet for laughter and snapshots, capturing the faces behind the firm’s collective strength. Each attendee also received a thoughtfully prepared gift, a small token of appreciation for years of dedication and passion.
Leadership Voices: Grit, AI, and the Will to Evolve
In his keynote address, Chairman Yu Hao spoke candidly about the industry's white-hot competition and the imperative to “break through to survive.” He urged the WEIPR family to embrace proactive change and turn disruption into opportunity. Drawing on insights from a recent London study tour, he highlighted a defining trend: artificial intelligence gives everyone an equal start, but it also dramatically widens the gaps between those who master it quickly and those who lag behind. The global shockwaves AI is sending through the industry, he noted, have already far exceeded early expectations. His message was clear – the only way to build tomorrow's capacity to break through is through continuous learning and relentless self-evolution, all while safeguarding the original mission of protecting clients' intellectual property.
General Manager Zhang Kai then took the stage, centering his remarks on a single, resonant word: gratitude. He thanked himself for staying in love with the profession, thanked Chairman Yu for his trust, and, most deeply, thanked every team member who shares that same love for the IP industry. Echoing the Chairman's observations on AI, Zhang Kai shared his own takeaways from the UK and called on everyone to treat the coming changes as a catalyst – to keep learning, keep adapting, and step into the future not with fear, but with the confidence that comes from genuine capability.
Standing Together, Moving Forward
After the speeches, all WEIPR members gathered for a massive group photo. In that moment, they were more than colleagues who fight shoulder to shoulder; they were family who have weathered storms together. Across locations, the Optics Valley and Xiangyang teams held simultaneous celebrations, connected by the same purpose and spirit.
Connection Over Refreshments, Teamwork in Action
A relaxed tea break followed, with milk tea, cakes, and seasonal fruits providing a sweet recharge amid lively conversation. Then came the day’s energy peak: a company-wide round of charades. Teams competed in a relay of quick-fire guessing, sparking laughter and revealing the unspoken chemistry built through years of working side by side. The winning team took home special gifts, and every participant walked away with a reward – a small but vivid snapshot of the collaboration that fuels WEIPR every day.
Twenty Years Is Just the New Beginning
Twenty years is not a finish line; it is the starting point for what comes next. WEIPR Group extends its deepest gratitude to every person who has stood together through the storms. Into the next twenty years and beyond, WEIPR will keep embracing change, igniting new energy, and breaking through toward a horizon full of possibility.
Here's to the next chapter – bolder, brighter, and always breaking through.
