Don't miss out: help us choose this year’s IP Hall of Fame inductees

WTR and IAM are currently seeking to identify the icons of the industry to induct into the IP Hall of Fame. As part of our research process, we need your nominations.

Since 2006, the IP Hall of Fame has been honouring 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.

The deadline for nominations is 15 March. All valid nominations will then 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.
