Sean Reilly named Top IP Strategist by Leading Intellectual Property Publication

New York, NY, June 12, 2015, Askeladden, L.L.C. is pleased to announce that Sean Reilly, General Counsel of Askeladden, was named to The IAM Strategy 300: The World’s Top IP Strategists.  Mr. Reilly leads Askeladden’s Patent Quality Initiative and is also a Senior Vice President and Associate General Counsel of the Clearing House Payments Company. 

Published since 2009 by Intellectual Asset Management (IAM) Magazine, the IAM 300 “lists individuals that in-depth research has shown to possess world class skills in the development and roll-out of strategies that maximise the value of patent, copyright, trademark and other IP rights.” 

IAM researchers in the United States, Europe and Asia spoke to a wide range of senior corporate IP managers, as well as third-party IP service providers, in order to identify these IP leaders: men and women 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. 

For the first time, IAM said, the 2015 edition of the IAM Strategy 300 includes individuals that work at operating companies. “This reflects the growing importance that businesses across the world attach to having in-house IP value creation expertise, alongside the legal expertise that has traditionally characterised in-house IP functions.”
