Awards will be presented in the following national and regional categories to recognise outstanding IP work in the past 12 months. The winners are chosen by Managing IP’s team of editors and researchers based on research for the world IP survey, a review of market developments and client feedback.
Managing IP’s North America Awards, covering Canada and the United States, will take place in Washington DC on March 25. The lists of nominees will be published later this week.
