Welcome

I am delighted to welcome you to the inaugural IAM Strategy 300 Global Leaders guide.

Since its inception the IAM Strategy 300 has featured leading figures in the IP world drawn from in-house, private practice, service providers and beyond. A slot in the 300 has quickly become a badge of honour for those who make the cut.

And so – with that in mind – this year we decided to throw more light on these leading strategists and invited them to give us some insight into how their careers have developed, their thoughts on key trends in the market and their top tips for other IP practitioners looking to progress.

Like our Global Leaders guide, which features some of the top-tier private practice lawyers from the IAM Patent 1000, these interviews offer a fascinating window into some of the leading strategic thinkers in the market.

The IAM Strategy 300 Global Leaders guide draws from the worlds of private practice, consulting and other service

providers, with specialists from the major IP markets in North America, Europe and Asia. Together they boast a wide range of expertise in IP-intensive sectors such as high-tech and life sciences.

Given the myriad strategic challenges that patent owners face throughout the world, I am sure that you will agree that this guide will quickly become a valuable resource for stakeholders across the IP community.

I hope that you enjoy it!
