BarentsKrans ranked in IP STARS from Managing IP

We are pleased to share that Jaap Bremer has once again been recognised in the latest Managing IP – IP STARS rankings for Western Europe. Jaap has been ranked as both a Patent Star and a Trade Mark Star, reflecting his expertise in intellectual property.

In addition, Jan Jacobi has been recognised as a Rising Star, highlighting his growing reputation and contribution to the field.

The IP STARS rankings are widely regarded as one of the leading benchmarks for excellence in IP law. They are based on extensive and independent research, drawing on thousands of submissions and feedback from clients and peers across key practice areas, including patent and trade mark disputes and prosecution, IP transactions, and copyright matters. This year’s Western Europe results, announced on 25 June, form part of a new jurisdiction-focused approach, further highlighting leading practitioners within individual markets.

We are grateful for this recognition and proud of the work of our patent team. We thank our clients and peers for their continued trust and for contributing to the IP STARS research.
