Smart & Biggar is pleased to share that twelve of the firm’s partners have been recognized in the 2019 World IP Review Leaders, a comprehensive guide to the top intellectual property lawyers in the areas of patents and trademarks across the globe.

The WIPR Leaders research team seeks out expert IP professionals to nominate peers exceptional in their field. Through their research, they have contacted more than 15,000 individuals, both in-house counsel and private practice attorney. Each participating individual is examined to ensure valid nominations through vetting of the nominees practice history, notable cases and their involvement in the wider IP community.

All Leaders profiled in the World IP Review Leaders guide are based entirely on merit for their expertise in their domain. We congratulate our professionals for this recognition and look forward to future successes in this new publication.
