IP group is recognized in IAM patent law 2023 directory with gold and silver

Global Press release - Recognition June 2023

In the 2023 IAM Patent 1000, an annual directory of the best intellectual property firms and lawyers, our patent practices in Canada, Hong Kong and the US (specifically New York and Texas) garnered recognition for their work in patent litigation, prosecution and transactions.

Twenty-five of the firm's IP lawyers from 10 offices globally were ranked as recommended or highly recommended. The Texas offices received the highest Gold firm ranking in the area of patent litigation. Gold band firms are those who receive the most positive comments from their peers and are identified as being the very best in their respective fields.

The IAM Patent 1000 directory identifies world-class patent lawyers and leading expert witnesses from all over the world. IAM, which publishes a magazine and other publications covering the IP field, bases its rankings on interviews with patent lawyers and in-house counsel.

With more than 250 IP lawyers worldwide—many of whom have advanced scientific and technical degrees—Norton Rose Fulbright provides strategic legal advice across all key industry sectors.
