With full-time journalists and dedicated researchers based in Europe, the US, and Asia, IAM and WTR are uniquely placed to provide in-depth reporting and analysis of developments in all the world’s major IP markets. Based on their collective knowledge and insight, and drawing on a number of strategic data points, the firms that deserve recognition for their achievements across the past 12 months were identified – and then celebrated at a special event held at Plaisterers’ Hall, London.” 

Trevor Little, IP Managing Editor, stated that on 19 October we recognised “the outstanding achievements of law and attorney firms in litigation, prosecution, and transactional work during 2022/2023.

That sounds like a lot, and it does illustrate the depth and spread of IP expertise available to corporate teams the world over.”
