Icons of industry: help us to choose this year’s IP Hall of Fame inductees

WTR and IAM have launched their annual search to identify outstanding individuals to induct into the IP Hall of Fame. And we need your nominations as part of the selection process.

Let us know who you believe deserves recognition by completing our short nomination form before 15 March.

Since 2006, the IP Hall of Fame has been honouring those individuals – living or dead – who have had a major positive impact on the IP landscape, whether as a lawyer, academic, business executive, inventor, politician, or in any other capacity.

If you know of somebody who deserves recognition for their ground-breaking contributions to the IP field, nominate them today.

Self-nominations and those deemed by our editorial team to be for promotional purposes will not be considered.

Once the nominations window closes on 15 March, all valid nominations will be sent anonymously to the IP Hall of Fame Academy, whose members – composed of past inductees and celebrated IP thought-leaders – will vote on which of the nominees to induct this year. A list of the luminaries who have already been included in the IP Hall of Fame can be found here.

On top of this, the IP Hall of Fame includes the recipient of the 2024 Q Todd Dickinson Editor’s Award, which honours one individual each year who has made an outstanding contribution to the development of intellectual property as a business asset. The recipient of this award will be chosen by the IP Hall of Fame Academy, from a shortlist determined by the IAM editorial team.

This year’s inductees will be announced in April/May and will be honoured at IPBC Global later this year.

We look forward to receiving your nominations.
