In the final episode of 2023, the team discusses our Top 50 and the biggest IP events of the year


It’s been an exciting year for the Managing IP editorial team.

In this episode, senior reporter Rani Mehta is joined by Sukanya Sarkar, our senior reporter in Asia, and Rory O’Neill, our senior reporter based in Europe, to discuss some of the picks from this year's list of the 50 most influential people in IP 2023.

The annual end-of-year list recognises those who had the biggest impact on intellectual property developments over the course of the last 12 months. The 2023 list included film director Greta Gerwig and Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI.

Also in this episode, our team members reflect on some of the biggest developments of the year including the formation of the Unified Patent Court and the struggles of foreign law firms in China.

This is our final IP Lounge episode for 2023. We will be back with a new episode in January. Thank you for listening and we wish everyone a happy holiday season and new year.
