IAM Strategy 300
September 28, 2023
Congratulations to Christopher Heer on being recommended as one of the World's Leading IP Strategists in the 2023 edition of IAM Strategy 300.
The IAM Strategy 300 has diligently identified outstanding individuals who provide top-tier services related to the formulation and execution of strategies that empower IP owners to maximize the value of their portfolios. Since 2016, their comprehensive coverage has encompassed both in-house corporate IP professionals, the architects of IP value at the forefront, and third-party advisors and operators. This expansion has further solidified IAM Strategy 300 as an invaluable and all-encompassing point of reference.
Inclusion in the IAM Strategy 300 is an exclusive distinction. To qualify, an individual must receive nominations from at least three individuals outside their own organization. Yet, even with these nominations, inclusion is not guaranteed. Only those individuals who, through further research, demonstrate exceptional skill sets and profound insights into the development, creation, and management of IP value earn a place in the esteemed ranks of the IAM Strategy 300.
