The WTR 1000 remains the only publication exclusively recommending experts and law firms in the trademark field, and this year, for the twelfth time, names the leading players in over 80 key jurisdictions worldwide.

Individuals and law firms can only be included in the WTR 1000 if they receive sufficient positive feedback from market sources. The comprehensive selection and review process was conducted over a four-month period by a team of full-time analysts and involved hundreds of face-to-face and telephone interviews with trademark professionals around the world. The publication therefore serves as a one-stop shop for anyone seeking trademark services.
