NLO recognized in IAM Patent 1000 2026

7 NLO patent experts recognized in IAM Patent 1000 2026

Every year, the IAM Patent 1000 highlights the world’s leading patent professionals. It’s not a recognition you can apply for. It’s earned through years of hard work, deep expertise, and the trust of our clients and partners. 

That’s what makes this recognition so meaningful. It reflects the people behind it: professionals who go the extra mile, think beyond the obvious, and genuinely care about the work they do. 

We are proud to share that seven of our colleagues have been included in this year’s ranking.

🏅 David Bot - Gold 
🏅 Paul Clarkson - Silver (also recommended for prosecution at the European Patent Office) 
🏅 Rene van Duijvenbode - Gold   
🏅 Harm van der Heijden - Bronze 
🏅 Mari Korsten - Silver 
🏅 Arthur Meekel- Silver 
🏅 Catherine Shultz - Bronze 

In addition, NLO has been recognised with strong firm rankings prosecution: 
🏅 Gold - Netherlands 
🏅 Bronze - European Patent Office

Congratulations to all on this well-deserved recognition!

And to our clients and partners: thank you. This achievement is as much yours as it is ours.
