London—Justin Hill, London-based partner and head of Dentons' Patent Prosecution and Opposition practice across Europe, has been named as one of the world's pre-eminent IP strategists in the latest edition of IAM Strategy 300. This list by Intellectual Asset Management (IAM) identifies individuals recognised for possessing world-class skills in the development and roll-out of strategies that maximise the value of intellectual property portfolios.

The advisers featured have a wide range of professional backgrounds and areas of specialisation, including in-house lawyers, IP brokerage, defensive patent aggregation, finance, IP insurance, management consultancy, private practice law and licensing, tax and valuation. Only those individuals nominated multiple times as outstanding IP strategists by different senior corporate IP managers in North America, Europe and Asia, as well as third-party IP service providers, are listed in the IAM Strategy 300.

Justin is a European patent attorney and a patent attorney litigator with previous experience working in research and in industry. His practice includes advising on the preparation and prosecution of UK, European and international patents in any area of technology, designs, trade marks, know-how and copyright. He assists clients with IP policy formulation and implementation, highly efficient IP filing programmes, competitive intelligence and positioning, revenue generation opportunities, IP risk management and IP disputes. He also provides infringement and validity opinions, as well as specialising in opposition and appeal proceedings before the European Patent Office.

IAM comments, "Justin Hill works tirelessly to deliver clarity, additional value and new creative ideas. He operates on a different level of IP knowledge to most other lawyers, and is a remarkable practitioner capable of creative approaches where others have failed."

IAM editor Joff Wild adds, "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. Their ability to create significant value makes them indispensable, wherever in the world they operate.

"Since we launched, the IAM Strategy 300 has become the go-to guide for those seeking to find out who leads the way when it comes to IP strategy. 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."

Justin is also recommended as a leading patent lawyer in the IAM 1000 legal directory, and is ranked by Chambers & Partners as one of a small number of Band 1 patent attorneys in Europe. The 2019 guide recommends him for all facets of patent prosecution, portfolio management, registry proceedings and litigation, with a source saying: "Justin has outstanding attention to detail and is exceptionally commercial when it comes to understanding the value and positioning of IP".
