As a global leader in intellectual property matters, IAM Media creates an annual list of standouts in the intellectual property sector. The 2021 IAM Strategy 300 list seeks to highlight industry trailblazers who have expertise in managing IP as a business asset, which is consistent with IAM’s belief that IP assets are “significant enhancers of business value.” For the fifth consecutive year, Dr. Ghobad Heidari, founder and president of GHB Intellect, was selected to the IAM Strategy 300. Dr. Chao Qi, a top patent prosecution and litigation expert at GHB Intellect, was also selected to the IAM Strategy 300.
An Overview of the IAM Strategy 300
Those included in the final list are known for offering top-tier services that enable intellectual property owners to maximize their portfolio values. These are individuals who are known for leading the way regarding the development and usage of strategies that drastically increase portfolio worth. The list cites individuals of all different backgrounds, including service providers, research institutions, corporations, and universities.
The nominees are identified through confidential endorsements online, as well as face-to-face meetings, email exchanges, and telephone interviews. The only way to make the list is to receive nominations from at least three people from outside his or her organization. This does not ensure inclusion in the IAM Strategy 300, though. In order to make the final cut, the individuals are researched and proven to have extensive skill sets, as well as “profound insights into the development, creation, and management of IP value”. Each year, IAM’s research team works with senior corporate IP managers across the planet to hand-select IP industry advisors they believe are qualified to be a part of the list.
IAM points out that all individuals who make the final cut, and who state that they wish to be included, are featured in the IAM Strategy 300 at no cost. It is not possible to buy a place in the guide, adding to its credibility.
The overwhelming majority of nominees do not make it through the vetting process to become award winners. This procedure is typically applied very strictly, with the intention of making the list of award winners as credible as possible.
