WTR needs your help to recognise the leading corporate trademark teams and individuals 

The nominations window for the WTR Industry Awards 2022 and next edition of WTR 300: The World’s Leading Corporate Trademark Professionals is now open. Act now to ensure that the critical work undertaken by corporate trademark professionals receives the recognition that it deserves.

The past 18 months have highlighted how important strong brands are – both to weather difficult economic conditions and to act as forces for good in society. Now WTR is seeking details of the corporate counsel deemed to be industry leaders, performing trademark-related duties to the highest standards, adding true value to their organisations and exemplifying the qualities that other counsel should aspire to. The nominations will then be used to facilitate two projects.

First, they will form the basis of the next edition of WTR 300: The World’s Leading Corporate Trademark Professionals, which identifies and profiles those individuals  that the wider community have singled out as the industry’s strategic and inspirational leaders (the current edition is available here).

The nominations will also be used as the first step towards compiling the WTR Industry Awards 2022 shortlist, which identifies industry-leading trademark teams from around the world. Once the nomination window is closed, WTR’s editorial team will undertake additional research and the shortlist will be revealed in Spring 2021. The winners will then be announced at an exclusive presentation ceremony.

Nominations will be held in the strictest confidence and will not be disclosed to any third parties. Recommendations must be for in-house teams and individuals – any nominations for private practice/law firm professionals will be disregarded.

The nominations window is open until 10 December 2021. Click here to access our short survey form and ensure that your peers and colleagues receive the recognition that they deserve.
