Magnetic field topology at the CME source regions is considered to play a role in CME initiation processes. We use observational data and Potential Field Source Surface model to investigate the magnetic field topology over CME productive quiescent filaments. We found both bipolar topology and quadrupolar topology at CME source regions, but bipolar topology is more common overall and in each year. The total occurrence ratio between bipolar and quadrupolar topology is about 3:1 with our 80 events. On the rising phase of the solar cycle, there is mostly bipolar topology, but on the declining phase, there is a mixture of both bipolar and quadrupolar topology.
