Submit your research forms
Firms are invited to complete our research forms, i.e. the firm questionnaire and client referees spreadsheet, and submit them via our submission portal.
The deadline to upload your documents is October 31, 2020, unless otherwise agreed or announced.
We do not accept research forms via email.
The research forms, submission portal and guidelines can be found here.
Research process
We will analyse the research forms submitted and conduct our own independent research. As part of the research process, we will also obtain feedback from individuals in private practice and in-house practice through surveys and interviews.
An interview is not mandatory, and we regret that we may not be able to accommodate all interview requests because of the size of the project and time constraints.
Results publication
After our research, we will publish the new IP STARS rankings and shortlists for the Managing IP Awards. We normally start publishing our results from February. Readers should expect more information on our publication timeline early next year. Follow our rankings publication announcements on the 'News & Features' page.
