Managing IP published its first legal directory in 1994 and rebranded it in 2013 as IP STARS. The publication quickly established itself as the leading specialist guide to IP law firms and practitioners worldwide. The research for IP STARS covers a variety of IP practice areas and more than 70 jurisdictions, making it the most comprehensive and widely respected guide in the IP profession.
IP STARS is not a directory of all firms and individuals offering IP services. Participation in our research does not guarantee ranking.
Congratulations to all the firms listed this year.
Research methodology
The research for these rankings was conducted rigorously and impartially by our team of research analysts in London, New York and Hong Kong. Each year we request information from thousands of firms, IP practitioners and their clients through interviews, email and online surveys.
Before compiling the rankings, our analysts also conducted their own independent research, including an analysis of publicly available information (such as court or IP office data) and existing data we hold on firms. The aspects assessed for the firm rankings include expertise, workload, market reputation/record, outcomes achieved for clients, and unique strengths in a given practice area. Judgements about which firms to include in the rankings, and which tier and practice area they should be in, take account of all this information.
Firms are ranked alphabetically in tiers, or as highly recommended or recommended. The total number of firms listed varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. For most jurisdictions, the rankings are split into prosecution and contentious work. However, in certain jurisdictions we evaluated and ranked firms for their trademark practice as a whole.
The prosecution ranking takes account of pre and post-registration work including office proceedings and portfolio management advice. The contentious ranking covers trademark-related disputes (in and outside the courts) and anti-counterfeiting work. Where appropriate, some firms have been ranked for both practice areas and in a few European jurisdictions we have a separate table for law firms that do trademark filing/prosecution work.
These rankings are based on information available at the time the research was completed (February 2022). Except for firm name changes, any subsequent developments or information that could influence our rankings will be considered during the research for the 2023 edition of IP STARS, which starts in September 2022.
For the avoidance of doubt, the ranking tables do not suggest or indicate that the expertise or services of the listed firms are limited to the practice area in question, and Managing IP does not recommend or endorse any particular firm for IP work. No firm can pay to be included or to influence the results.
The IP STARS rankings are not influenced by any commercial relationship, including advertising, with Managing IP or IP STARS. There is no fee to pay to participate in our research. The rankings are subject to change each year. Please visit ipstars.com to learn more about our research.
What to expect next
The jurisdictions in this issue represent only a fraction of the trademark rankings we have for this year. Readers will find the trademark rankings for other jurisdictions on ipstars.com. We will reveal the 2022 firm rankings for patent work in the summer issue of our magazine. More 2022 rankings, including the practitioner rankings and copyright rankings, will be available on ipstars.com so bookmark it and check it regularly for the latest updates and announcements. Managing IP will also publish two digital print editions of IP STARS this year.
If you have any feedback or questions about IP STARS, please contact the research editor Kingsley Egbuonu at kingsley.egbuonu@managingip.com.
