The rankings cover trade mark, copyright and patent work and are based on research conducted from October 2014 to March 2015. There are rankings of firms and individuals in more than 80 countries.

To access all this year’s information, click here. You will be asked to provide your email address and will then have full access to the site.

The information is categorised by region/country and can also be found using the search functions and menu bar.

For the first time this year, we are also publishing a list of Corporate IP Stars, comprising outstanding in-house practitioners worldwide.

All of our rankings are compiled based on email surveys and extensive interviews with lawyers in private practice and in-house counsel during the research process.

The 2015 research is also published in the following hard-copy directories:

  • IP Stars – Trade Mark & Copyright (published April 2015)

  • IP Stars – United States (published May 2015)

  • IP Stars – Patent (publishing July 2015)
