World Trademark Review (WTR) is now inviting nominations for its annual research project, designed to identify the world’s leading corporate trademark professionals and teams.
The nomination period is open until 19 December 2025, during which time we are seeking details of the corporate professionals deemed to be the leading lights of the industry, performing brand-related duties to the highest standards, adding true value to their organisations and exemplifying the qualities that other counsel should aspire to.
The research will be used to help compile the WTR Industry Awards 2026 shortlist and the WTR 300.
Please note that the categories were revamped last year, so please select carefully when choosing which categories to enter nominations. Please also tick regional boxes to capture where individuals are based.
We treat all nominations and personal details with the strictest of confidence. To see how we use your and the nominees' data, please visit the Privacy Policy.
