Pearce IP is proud to announce that our prosecution team has also been ranked among the best in Australia by Managing IP. This is in addition to the individual rankings of three of our leaders, announced in May.
Executive Lawyer, Patent Attorney & Trade Mark Attorney Naomi Pearce says:
‘We are very proud of MIP’s ranking of our prosecution team which recognises the pre-eminence of our prosecution team and the trust our clients place in us. Although our prosecution team is made up of very seasoned attorneys, the prosecution practice is less than 3 years old. This MIP ranking is a real credit to its leaders and team, affirming how far the practice has come in such a short period of time.’
Special Counsel and Patent Attorney Jacinta Flattery-O’Brien says:
‘To be recognised by MIP in less than 3 years is incredible recognition of the talent of the Pearce IP team of patent attorneys. I am honoured and incredibly proud of the team.’
