The world-class IP strategists recognized in IAM Strategy 300: The World’s Leading IP Strategists are primarily identified through confidential nominations made online. However, the extensive research process also involves face-to-face and telephone interviews, as well as email exchanges, with senior members of the global IP community. No individual can qualify for a listing in the IAM Strategy 300 unless they are nominated by at least three people from outside of their own organization. But even this does not guarantee inclusion; instead, only those individuals who further research shows to have exceptional skill sets, as well as profound insights into the development, creation and management of IP value, are featured.
