Managing IP Names Eight Knobbe Martens Partners 2017 “IP Stars”
Knobbe Martens is pleased to announce that partners Maria Anderson, William Bunker, Jon Gurka, Steve Jensen, Joseph Re, Robert Roby, Art Rose, and William Zimmerman have once again been recognized for their outstanding intellectual property legal work in Managing IP’s 2017 “IP Stars” handbook.
The selection of these attorneys to “IP Stars” follows numerous other accolades Knobbe Martens has received from Managing IP this year. The firm earned top rankings in six national categories in Managing IP’s “IP Stars Survey,” including PTAB Litigation, Life Sciences, Patent Contentious, Patent Filing & Prosecution, Trademark Contentious, and Trademark Filing & Prosecution; and was ranked in the top regional tiers in the Copyright, Patent, and Trademark categories. Knobbe Martens was also named the “Top Patent Prosecution and Trademark Firm” at the annual 2017 “North America Awards”.
The “IP Stars” survey, the most comprehensive of its kind, covers 70 countries and ranks leading law firms by nation. The selection process is based on extensive research compiled by teams in London, New York and Hong Kong, honoring firms considered the most “capable, active firms in IP” in their respective jurisdictions. Rankings are based on the firm’s quality of service and depth of practice according to peer reviews by intellectual property practitioners worldwide and clients. Firms that are included have received a significant number of recommendations from peers and clients, and cannot vote or pay for their own inclusion, nor solicit votes from associates.
