Tilleke & Gibbins’ patent practice in Thailand has garnered a top-tier ranking in the latest edition of IAM Patent 1000 from Intellectual Asset Management (IAM) magazine. This is the tenth consecutive year that Tilleke & Gibbins has been listed in the gold band—IAM Patent 1000’s highest distinction—in the guide to the top patent professionals around the world. In its editorial on the firm, IAM Patent 1000 pointed to Tilleke & Gibbins’ strong reputation, noting that the firm “has the respect of patrons, peers and the government, with several of its experts recruited to sit on IP reform drafting committees.” In highlighting the Tilleke & Gibbins’ “innovative mindset,” the editorial gives the example of the firm’s cannabis advisory group formed as an immediate response to Thailand’s liberalization of cannabis restriction in recent years. Seven Tilleke & Gibbins lawyers (including three out of four individuals in the Gold Band) were recognized in the Thailand guide for their exceptional work: Alan Adcock Darani Vachanavuttivong Jakkrit Kuanpoth Nandana Indananda Somboon Earterasarun Suebsiri Taweepon Sukontip Jitmongkolthong The rankings are based on several months of in-depth research and market analysis conducted by IAM researchers. In the 2022 rankings, IAM Patent 1000 also once again awarded honors to Tilleke & Gibbins’ offices in Indonesia and Vietnam. For more information, please visit the IAM Patent 1000 website.
