On 23rd October 2024, the IAM Global Leaders 2025, an annual directory showcasing the world’s top private practice experts in the patent world, is launched.
To qualify for inclusion in this esteemed group, candidates must be ranked in the gold tier of the IAM Patent 1000 and merit special attention for their expertise and experience in creating, protecting, managing, transacting and enforcing critical patent rights.
The IAM Patent 1000 is compiled by IAM’s full-time research team through an exhaustive process. The researchers gather hundreds of written submissions from firms, conduct hundreds of face-to-face and telephone interviews and correspond with patent lawyers, attorneys and their clients over a four-month period.
Ms. Xiaoling Duan, Partner of Wanhuida Intellectual Property, makes her debut in the IAM Global Leaders 2025. Ms. Duan is lauded as a “portfolio management ace”, who capitalizes on her career as a patent examiner to protect and enforce clients’ rights.
