Merchant & Gould is pleased to announce for the third year in a row that attorney Jonathan Berschadsky, a partner in the firm’s New York office, has been included in the 2017 edition of IAM Strategy 300 – The World’s Leading IP Strategists.

This guide lists the individuals that in-depth research—undertaken by a team based in London, Washington, D.C., and Hong Kong—has shown possess world-class skills in the development and roll-out of strategies that maximize the value of patents, copyright, trademarks and other IP rights.

The IAM research team identified IP leaders whose business is the creation, development and deployment of strategies that enable IP owners to gain maximum value from their portfolios. Only those individuals nominated multiple times by different parties as outstanding IP strategists are listed in the IAM Strategy 300.

“Intellectual property helps to drive the 21st century economy, creating strong incentives to invest in the creation and roll-out of brands and all types of content, as well as the innovation process. This makes IP strategists more important than they have ever been before,” said IAM editor Joff Wild in a statement. “We invest considerable time and effort into identifying the right candidates for inclusion and we salute all those who have made it into the final publication. For the work they do, they deserve this recognition.”
