Now in its 21st year, the Managing IP Awards are one of the most comprehensive and widely respected awards for IP law firms and practitioners. Each year, Managing IP’s research analysts obtain information from thousands of firms, IP practitioners, and their clients through interviews, email, and online surveys. Before compiling the shortlists, their researchers evaluate work data supplied by firms and, where applicable, review publicly available information such as court and IP office records. They focus on work done or concluded in the previous year, particularly looking for case studies that were of great significance to clients and/or IP law and practice. The research for the Managing IP Awards program is rigorous and impartial. There is no charge to participate in their research, and participation does not guarantee recognition. The awards are not influenced by any commercial relationship with Managing IP, and no firm or individual can pay to influence the results.
