Find out which firms were ranked for trademark and general intellectual property work in the 2021 edition of IP STARS

Managing IP first revealed the 2021 trademark firm rankings in the spring edition of the magazine, which went to press in February. In March, we republished them on our dedicated rankings website ipstars.com. Our trademark rankings feature more than 50 jurisdictions.

This month we published the firm rankings for intellectual property work, covering more than 25 jurisdictions. For these jurisdictions, we evaluated and ranked firms for their IP practice as a whole rather than split them up into different practice areas. We also published special national rankings for ITC litigation and life sciences IP work in the United States.

We have more rankings to publish in the coming weeks and months.

Read about our rankings and see the ranked firms at ipstars.com.

Congratulations to all the firms ranked this year.
