Research for Managing IP Awards and IP STARS rankings 2023

2023 research edition.jpg

Firms and companies are invited to participate in the research for the 2023 edition of Managing IP Awards and IP STARS rankings

Managing IP's research team has commenced research for the 2023 edition of IP STARS rankings and Managing IP Awards programme. The research comprises analysis of submissions, market feedback from interviews and surveys, and independent desk research.

We hosted a webinar (see below) on September 15, 2022, to provide information about the research and how to participate.

Law firm submissions

The most important way for firms to participate in our research is to submit their firm questionnaire and client referee documents each year. We use the submissions for the firm and practitioner rankings and the Managing IP Awards programme.

In-house award submissions

In-house legal departments and IP counsel are also invited to submit for the Managing IP Awards programme. We have award categories for in-house teams and practitioners.

The forms and new portal

The research forms firms and in-house departments need to complete can be found below:

The submission deadline is October 31, 2022.

We now have a new portal for accepting submissions from firms and in-house teams. This proprietary portal allows users to create accounts, submit their research documents and have access to them in the future. Access the portal here.

Please listen to our webinar to get guidance on completing our research forms and using the portal. The user guide for the portal can be found here. Learn more about the research and results publication timeline for the 2023 edition here.
