IP STARS is one of the most established IP-only rankings in the profession, covering firms and practitioners in more than 70 jurisdictions. Rankings are based on research conducted by Managing IP‘s analysts, drawing on firm submissions, client interviews, and surveys of thousands of IP practitioners in private practice and in-house. The Rising Stars list separately identifies practitioners in the earlier stages of their careers who are already earning notable market recognition.
