The annual ranking highlights the world’s leading patent firms and practitioners who ensure exceptional expertise, strategic excellence, and outstanding client service in patent law.

IAM Patent 1000 particularly recognises Kather Augenstein’s expertise to handle highly technical and strategically complex patent disputes on an international scale.
