Managing IP published its first legal directory in 1994 and rebranded it in 2013 as IP STARS. The research for the IP STARS guide has expanded over the years, covering over six IP practice areas and more than 70 jurisdictions.
The research for these rankings was conducted rigorously and impartially by a team of research analysts in London, New York, and Hong Kong. Each year, IP Stars requests information from thousands of firms, IP practitioners, and their clients through interviews, email, and online surveys. Before compiling the rankings, analysts also conduct their own independent research, including an analysis of publicly available information (such as court or IP office data) and existing data held on firms. The aspects assessed for the firm rankings include expertise, workload, market reputation and record, outcomes achieved for clients, and unique strengths in each practice area. These are considered when deciding which firms to include in the rankings, and which tier and practice area they should be in.
No firm or individual can pay to be ranked or to influence the results and there is no fee to participate in the IP Stars research. Participation in the research does not guarantee listing. To learn more, please visit ipstars.com.
