MIP Trademark Survey Shows Tilleke & Gibbins’ Regional Dominance

Managing Intellectual Property

The latest results of the annual trademark survey from Managing Intellectual Property (MIP) have once again recognized Tilleke & Gibbins’ intellectual property department as a leading trademark practice throughout the region.

For Thailand, Tilleke & Gibbins was ranked in Tier 1 for trademarks for the 19th consecutive year. For Vietnam, Tilleke & Gibbins’ intellectual property practice achieved a Tier 1 ranking for the 11th year running. In the crowded Indonesia market, Tilleke & Gibbins’ intellectual property boutique is continuing to gain recognition, with a Tier 2 ranking for trademark prosecution and a Tier 3 designation for the trademark contentious category.

MIP also ranks individual practitioners, as well as some smaller jurisdictions that only have a single category of recommended intellectual property firms. These will be released in the coming months.

The trademark survey is a part of IP STARS, MIP’s specialist guide to the world’s leading intellectual property firms and practitioners. For more information and to browse the full copyright rankings, please see the IP STARS website.
