Novagraaf trademark attorneys featured in WIPR Leaders 2022

Amsterdam/London, 24 May 2022 – Novagraaf has been featured in the 2022 edition of WIPR Leaders. The guide showcases leading IP practitioners worldwide and features 1,000 IP professionals from more than 60 countries, including three Novagraaf trademark attorneys. 

The World Intellectual Property Review (WIPR) Leaders guide is based on research undertaken on nominated attorneys, exploring their work and reviewing feedback from 12,000 IP professionals. The researchers look at practice history, industry expertise and notable cases, as well as additional activities, such as writing and teaching responsibilities.

In this year's handbook, trademark attorneys Marielle Zwart-Hoffer and Bart Schweitzer from Novagraaf Netherlands and Luke Portnow from Novagraaf UK were featured for their expertise.

"I am very honoured that my career with Novagraaf has led to this recognition. The fun and energy that I derive from working is all about my relation with and commitment to my clients. And I look forward to keep on working in this fast changing world of IP for another period of 15 years (at least)!" – Bart Schweitzer

“I am very honoured to be featured in the WIPR Leaders 2022 edition. I am very happy to be recognised for my efforts in the IP world and I look forward to continue bringing my contribution to the inspiring world of IP in the years to come.” –Marielle Zwart-Hoffer
