Oblon's Derek Mason identified as "Top IP Strategist" by IAM Strategy 300

Oblon is proud to announce that partner J. Derek Mason, Ph.D., CLP has been selected by Intellectual Asset Management for its annual Strategy 300 guide of “The World’s Leading IP Strategists 2017.” The unique guide lists the individuals that in-depth research, undertaken by a team based in London, Washington DC and Hong Kong, has shown possess world-class skills in the development and roll-out of strategies that maximize the value of patents, copyright, trademarks and other IP rights.

The IAM research team spoke to a wide range of senior corporate IP managers in North America, Europe and Asia, as well as third-party IP service providers, in order to identify these IP leaders: men and women whose business is the creation, development and deployment of strategies that enable IP owners to gain maximum value from their portfolios. Only those individuals nominated multiple times by different parties as outstanding IP strategists are listed in the IAM Strategy 300.
