Intellectual Asset Management

Intellectual Asset Management (IAM) Patent 1000 – the World’s Leading Patent Practitioners 2017  has ranked Tilleke & Gibbins at the top of the legal market for patent work in Vietnam in the publication’s annual research into leading firms and practitioners worldwide.

Tilleke & Gibbins is among a small number of notable firms to be ranked in Vietnam, with the IAM Patent 1000 2017  editorial stating, “With a combined 300 years’ IP experience, its 30 legal professionals possess outstanding technical and industry knowledge; while well-drilled support staff ensure that the firm’s expert service is delivered without a hitch. A patent litigation trailblazer, the firm acted in some of the country’s first infringement suits and is a valiant defender of the rights of innovative pharmaceuticals concerns.”

Two Tilleke & Gibbins lawyers were also recognized as outstanding patent practitioners in Vietnam, as follows:

  • Thomas Treutler. “Qualified to practice in Vietnam and the United States, lynchpin Thomas Treutler collaborates brilliantly with multinational clients; he works with equal skill on both sides of the contentious/non-contentious divide.”
  • Loc Xuan Le. “Spearheading the enforcement team is Loc Xuan Le, who has prevailed in several recent disputes on behalf of global drug companies.”

The rankings are based on several months of in-depth research conducted by IAM  researchers. IAM Patent 1000 2017  also ranked Tilleke & Gibbins among the top firms in Indonesia and Thailand.
