Have your say on current trends and challenges in the global IP market

The 2018 IAM benchmarking survey - designed to shine a light on the key issues in the IP marketplace by drawing on insights from our corporate and private practice readers – is now underway.

In the questionnaires (there is one for IP owners and one for legal practitioners), which take around 15 minutes to complete,  we ask for views on issues like litigation, patent valuation and monetisation, IP office performance, policy developments and other important topics. The results of our 2017 survey can be found here.

We invite all our readers working inside IP owning organisations or law/attorney firms to take part in this year’s survey in order to help us – and the IP community – better understand the threats and opportunities which currently confront IP professionals.

To say thank you, we will enter all participants into a draw to win a free delegate place at this year’s IPBC Global in San Francisco.

  • If you work in an IP-owning company, please click here to complete your survey.
  • If you are a private practice lawyer or attorney, please click here to complete your survey.

Your answers will be treated as strictly confidential.


Selected results and analysis will be published on the IAM website and in the magazine in June.

The closing date for receipt of survey responses is 18th March.

Should you have any questions about the survey or experience any technical difficulties, please do not hesitate to contact me at [email protected] .
