The WTR 1000 focuses exclusively on identifying the leading private practice firms and individuals in jurisdictions across the globe. The extensive research process was conducted over a four-month period by a team of full-time analysts who undertook more than 1,500 face-to-face and telephone interviews with trade mark specialists across the globe. Individual practitioners, law firms and trade mark attorneys qualify for inclusion in WTR 1000 subject to receiving sufficient positive feedback from these specialists.
