Welcome to the 2018 edition of Managing Intellectual Property’s Corporate IP Stars. Each year we recognise in-house counsel for their outstanding contributions to the management of their company's IP assets and the development and understanding of the IP ecosystem. The Corporate IP Stars list is based on the information obtained during the research for this year's edition of IP STARS. The research was concluded in February 2018. Click here to read more about our methodology and publication. The IP STARS firm rankings and individual listings are subject to change each year.
We know there will be other individuals who deserve to be featured so please do get in touch with your feedback or suggestions and we will can consider them for the 2019 edition. Please send them to research@managingip.com
Congratulations to all who made this year’s list.
