Prestigious international publisher,\u00a0World Trademark Review<\/a>, has once again awarded local intellectual property firm James & Wells a gold ranking in its annual publication,\u00a0WTR 1000<\/em>. Four James & Wells\u2019 individuals also received recommendations for their expertise.<\/h6>\n

World Trademark Review\u00a0provides independent coverage of global trade mark developments and unique and invaluable market analysis. The\u00a0WTR 1000<\/em>\u00a0guide\u00a0identifies the trade mark firms and individuals that are deemed outstanding in this critical area of practice.<\/p>\n

The guide acknowledges that James & Wells\u2019 team of highly experienced practitioners is well regarded, earning high praise from peers and clients alike. \u201cTheir team of experts ensures you get the most experienced person for each specific job.\u201d<\/p>\n

The guide notes that while the firm is known for filing more trademarks than any other independent IP firm in the country, its stellar reputation extends beyond its trade mark and prosecution practice. In particular, the guide recognised the strength of James & Wells\u2019 dedicated Asia Team, as well as its \u201coutstanding litigation department\u201d.<\/p>\n

Individual rankings<\/h6>\n

Partners\u00a0Carrick Robinson\u00a0and\u00a0Ceri Wells\u00a0were recommended for their expertise in prosecution and strategy, with the guide noting that Ceri is \u201cfrequently approached by companies looking for help with developing IP strategies to fit their business objectives.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carrick was recognised for his proficiency in the trade mark space, \u201c[his]\u00a0background as a tax accountant serves him well as he assists clients with IP valuation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Partner,\u00a0Gus Hazel\u00a0and Senior Associate,\u00a0Ben Cain\u00a0were recommended as leading practitioners in enforcement and litigation. With litigation experience at all levels in Australia and New Zealand, Gus is described as an excellent litigator and great collaborator who\u00a0attracts deep respect from his peers.<\/p>\n

Ben receives praise for his awareness of commercial realities and realistic assessments of likely outcomes \u2013 \u201c[he] installs great confidence in his clients to make the best decision for their business.\u201d<\/p>\n

The guide noted that the New Zealand market has managed comparatively well throughout the pandemic, with the country\u2019s IP practices staying busy. The total number of trade mark filings are going up as more companies realise the importance of intellectual property, with the health sector among those experiencing a boost as a result of an increased demand for personal protective equipment and disinfectants, while the retail sector has seen a slow-down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
