World IP Survey

Kirkland & Ellis was one of only three firms in the United States to receive a first-tier ranking for contentious patent work and one of only two firms in the United States to receive a first-tier ranking for contentious trademark and copyright work in the 2007 Managing Intellectual Property magazine survey of leading patent firms. One of the world's most detailed and authoritative surveys of the IP market, the World IP Survey is based on extensive research and interviews with practitioners and in-house counsel worldwide. MIP's teams of researchers contacted firms in 65 jurisdictions to ask them for information and feedback on the rankings; client feedback was also sought.
