Event Overview

How important is it for a patent firm to secure a good ranking in a respected legal directory?

The number of outlets publishing rankings, guides and awards has proliferated in recent years and, from what we at CIPA hear, opinions about their veracity and significance varies between firms, with some even choosing not to participate.

But, for now, the consensus seems to be that it is still worth putting the time and effort into making high quality submissions in order to secure as good as result for your firm as possible.

But what are the hallmarks of a good submission? What are the “do’s” and “don’ts”? What are the key, overring principles to always bear in mind?

Joining us for this special webinar will be Kingsley Egbuonu, Global Research Editor for the Managing IP Awards programme and IP STARS rankings and freelance directory specialist Susannah Pearson, Founder of the Directories Consultancy who will share best practice and provide expert tips and advice.
