Firms are invited to participate in the research for the 2024 edition of the Managing IP Awards programme and IP STARS rankings

Managing IP's research team has commenced research for the 2024 edition of the 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 will host a webinar (see below) on September 14, 2023, 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.

The research documents

Firms need to complete the firm questionnaire and two spreadsheets, if required, for referees.
