On September 14, IP Stars launched a webinar outlining the main takeaways for the 2024 submission. With the deadline about a month away, here are some tips and updates to keep in mind when drafting your firm’s IP Stars submission.
- You don’t have to fill out all the practice areas. Managing IP will take into consideration if you are a smaller firm that specializes in only a few areas within Intellectual Property.
- Put details/statistics you want the researcher to know about your firm in Section 1e. There is no word limit in this section, so this is your opportunity to really show off your firm, but less is often more and concise is a must!
- Prioritize the inclusion of new matters. Obviously, you can still roll over previous matters if they remain ongoing, but fresh mandates are also important as the guide looks to stay fresh and current.
- This year, there will be two separate referee sheets: one for referees from law firms (in-house or otherwise) and the other for referees from other companies. This will make it easier for Managing IP to consider and analyze the data.
- The more referees, the better!
- The submission does not influence the Awards, so also highlight the biggest matters from the last year in the Awards section.
- Nominate other firms. The researchers will look at your submission favourably if you do so.
