About Managing IP

The survey covers protection/registration-related work including protection strategy and portfolio management advice and IP Office proceedings such as oppositions and appeals. The rankings are based on extensive research among IP practitioners carried out over six months. A team of researchers in London, New York and Hong Kong sought responses from thousands of practitioners by phone, surveys, email and in face-to-face meetings, making this the most comprehensive and authoritative survey of the IP legal market yet published.
