Stratford Intellectual Property joins the annual list of top patent agencies in 2022

 

JUNE 30, 2022 – Stratford Group Ltd., a consulting team dedicated to supporting the growth, improvement and transformation of organizations and their leaders, is excited to announce that its IP practice, Stratford Intellectual Property has been recognized in the IAM Patent 1000; The World’s Leading Patent Professionals, an annual guide to identifying world-class, private practice patent expertise from around the world.

The directory praised Stratford Intellectual Property as “a pioneer in the realm of virtual IP management.” Receiving a bronze band in the area of litigation, Stratford is recognized as being “innovative, reliable and diligent in the pursuit of protecting intellectual property. It has a team with deep technical knowledge who understand the importance of claims and can appropriately prepare applications in a way that leads to favourable outcomes.”

Featured as a recommended individual (who are spotlighted in the publication for their ‘exceptional skill sets and profound insights’), Stratford Intellectual Property President Natalie Giroux “comes highly recommended by those who have worked with her.”  When speaking about her expertise, the directory quoted a client, “Natalie is the only practitioner I trust to propose a strategy that actually matches our corporate reality. I believe her to be a very pragmatic person who can clearly explain the pros and cons of various IP strategies. Whenever someone asks me for an excellent service provider in the field, I always recommend Natalie.”

At Stratford, Natalie leads a team of like-minded individuals, who have become well-regarded as experts in IP strategy. Together they have helped over 100 companies and individuals realize and maximize their IP goals and strategies. 

Doug MacLean, a registered patent agent, also received individual recognition in the directory’s commentary, being commended for taking “the time to understand the invention and mak[ing] sure the patent description and claims match the spirit of the invention. He knows how to write patents and how to avoid common pitfalls.”

Each year, the IAM Patent 1000 identifies leading firms and individuals in intellectual property and is widely regarded as the definitive ‘go-to’ resource for those seeking to identify world-class, private practice patent expertise. Inclusion is based on factors such as depth of knowledge, market presence as well as peer and client feedback.

Natalie has been previously acknowledged for her thought leadership and IP strategy expertise with recognition on the 2021 IAM Strategy 300, the WIPR 2022 Leaders Guide, and a feature in the IAM Strategy 300 Global Leaders 2022 Guide.
