The World Trademark Review, a renowned publication known for its comprehensive coverage and analysis of the latest developments in data and trademarks, has recently unveiled its 2024 edition of the annual WTR1000 rankings. These rankings identify top practitioners and law firms in the trademark industry, and the rigorous evaluation process conducted by the WTR team ensures that these awards hold significant relevance for anyone seeking counsel in the realm of Intellectual Property (IP). Each year, the WTR team conducts thorough research, gathering feedback from clients, assessing track records, expertise, and client service through industry experts. This meticulous process results in rankings that are highly reliable, applicable, and relevant.

Given the diverse scope of practice areas within trademark law, the WTR1000 rankings categorize law firms and attorneys based on their specialization and expertise in specific areas. This categorization not only helps businesses and individuals identify firms best suited to their unique needs but also enhances the credibility and relevance of the rankings for the mentioned firms and lawyers.

It is with immense pride that we announce Winterfeldt IP Group's inclusion in this year's rankings for both our "prosecution and strategy services" and "enforcement and litigation services." Additionally, we are thrilled to share the individual honors received by our Founder and Principal, Brian Winterfeldt, who was awarded gold honors, and Of Counsel Christy Susman, who received bronze honors. These accolades represent years of experience, proven track records, and unparalleled customer service, making them highly commendable achievements within the industry.
