The Managing IP Asia Awards 2019 ceremony was held on March 20 in Hong Kong; we can now publish the winners here

Managing IP hosted the Asia Awards 2019 in front of nearly 100 people at the Island Shangri-La, on what was a fantastic evening to honour the best IP achievements by law firms and in-house counsel last year. 

You can find all of the winners below. Read the shortlists here

We will publish the reasons for the awards in our May/June issue, and all the photos from the evening will soon be made available on our Facebook page.

Now we look to New York, where we will host the Americas Awards 2019 on April 4. You can find more details about that ceremony here.

Congratulations to all the winning firms in Asia this year!
