We are delighted to announce that we have been awarded a gold band in World Trademark Review (WTR) 1000 2023. WTR 1000 describes the gold band as ‘Firms and individuals that attract the most positive comments from sources and undertake the most sophisticated work.’
WTR 1000 says: “Priding itself on being the only independent IP firm with offices on both sides of the Tasman Sea, James & Wells provides a reassuringly holistic IP offering: IP due diligence, gap analyses, brand evaluation and trade mark regulatory compliance are all dispatched with alacrity and poise. The well-trained personnel are “friendly, knowledgeable and organised, offering succinct, clear instructions and coherent tactics”.
