Managing IP Once Again Names Kilpatrick Townsend US Trademark Prosecution Firm of the Year

ATLANTA (April 12) -- Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton announced today that Managing Intellectual Property (Managing IP) named the firm the U.S. Trademark Prosecution Firm of the Year at the 17^th annual Managing IP Americas Awards, held in New York on April 7. This is the fourth time in seven years that the firm has been honored with this recognition. This time, that award comes with an additional one: Americas IP Firm of the Year. 

The annual Managing IP Awards are presented to firms, individuals, and companies behind the most innovative and challenging IP work of the past year, as well as those driving the international IP market.

“On behalf of our entire team, it is an honor to receive this prestigious recognition from Managing IP,” said Anthony Malutta, co-leader of the firm’s Trademark & Copyright Team. "Brands regularly rely on our team to resolve their most complex matters, advise on significant branding events, and trust us to manage nearly 100,000 trademarks globally on their behalf. It is deeply rewarding to know that we have earned the respect and appreciation of our clients and peers."

The Managing IP Awards program is the most comprehensive and widely respected IP awards event in the world. It covers a wide range of IP practice areas and more than 30 jurisdictions. Research analysts obtain information from thousands of firms, IP practitioners and their clients through interviews, email and online surveys.

Before compiling the shortlists, Managing IP researchers evaluate the work data supplied by firms and, where applicable, review publicly available information such as court and IP office records. They focus on work done or concluded in the previous year, particularly looking for case studies that were of great significance to clients or IP law and practice. Firms or individuals can also be shortlisted based on the researcher's independent research findings.

Managing IP launched its awards program in 2006. The ceremony attracts hundreds of guests and is regarded as the premier IP law firm awards event in the legal industry.
