Squire Patton Boggs was recognized in World Intellectual Property Review (“WIPR”) Insights’ inaugural China International Trademarks rankings, which features leading trademark firms and lawyers from both international and the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) firms. The firm was also recognized in WIPR’s inaugural USA Trademarks rankings, which highlights firms and lawyers that global brands rely on to protect and maximize the value of vital assets in the United States, and beyond.
As China remains a global hotspot for international brands seeking to protect the value of their goods and services, WIPR Insights’ rankings of international and PRC law firms and lawyers spotlight those firms and individuals best placed to advise brands in navigating the legal risks and opportunities related to intellectual property matters.
For WIPR Insights’ US Trademarks rankings, research included market analysis, reviews of submissions, and interviews with firms coast-to-coast from New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Washington DC, Dallas, Seattle and points in between. WIPR Insights spoke to clients independently sourced, and as referees provided by the firms, and to international lawyers who also assisted on research for the China Trademarks rankings.
In the category for non-contentious international law firms, for both China International Trademark and USA Trademark rankings, Squire was ranked “highly recommended.” Additionally, WIPR Insights also recognized seven Squire Patton Boggs attorneys in its Leaders Directory, a guide to the leading intellectual property practitioners in the world. The Leaders Directory includes:
