WASHINGTON, DC— Finnegan has once again received top honors in the Intellectual Asset Management’s (IAM) Patent 1000 Guide: The World’s Leading Patent Professionals 2019, ranking as a leading patent law firm in more than a dozen U.S. and international categories. IAM writes, “Offering a complete range of patent services and well versed in all scientific and engineering disciplines, Finnegan is the best-rounded boutique in the country.”
The Patent 1000 Guide is based on extensive research, conducted over several months by a team of full-time analysts, and involves more than 1,700 interviews with patent specialists across the globe. The guide identifies the top patent professionals in key jurisdictions.
IAM ranked Finnegan as a leader for litigation, prosecution, and transactions in the DC Metro Area and in Massachusetts, and as a leading patent firm in Georgia. IAM ranked the firm as a leading international firm, and testament to Finnegan’s strong presence in Asia, as leader in China, Japan, and South Korea.
Separate from the firm rankings, IAM recognized individually 33 Finnegan attorneys as leading patent practitioners for 2019. Four partners were also named to the IAM Strategy 300 list, which highlights individuals who are leading the way in the development and implementation of strategies that maximize the value of IP portfolios.
