IP STARS 2023: all the firm rankings published

New rankings

The firm rankings for the 2023 edition of IP STARS cover several practice areas, including copyright, IP transactions, patent litigation, and trademark protection

Last month, we released our firm rankings for intellectual property transactions and copyright and related rights work. This news means that all the firm rankings for the 2023 edition of IP STARS are now available on www.ipstars.com.

The firm rankings complement our IP Stars list, which recognises the leading senior IP practitioners in private practice. This year’s edition features more than 80 jurisdictions across Asia-Pacific, the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. See the jurisdiction links below.

Managing IP's team of research analysts conducted the core research for the rankings between September 2022 and February 2023. Read about all the rankings published thus far and our research methodology here.

We would like to use this opportunity to thank all the firms and client referees who participated in the research. Please contact us or our research team (email here) if you have any questions or feedback.

Congratulations to all the firms and practitioners ranked this year.

What to expect next

The remaining rankings for this year's edition are the 2023 Rising Stars list, which recognises the best up-and-coming practitioners in private practice, and the Corporate IP Stars list, which recognises in-house counsel. Both lists will be published later in September.

Webinar and research for the 2024 edition

Research plans are already underway for the 2024 edition of the IP STARS rankings and the Managing IP Awards programme. We will host a webinar on September 14 to provide guidance and answer questions about the research.

Register here to join the webinar or receive a notification of the recording if you are unable to attend.
