This milestone 20th edition of the MIP Awards brought together the foremost IP practitioners from around the EMEA to highlight and celebrate the culmination of professional successes over the previous 12 months.  We were thrilled to step up to receive the award for Best Patent Prosecution Firm in Spain (Patent & Trademark Attorney Firms). Furthermore, this year Bernabé Zea was awarded the prestigious title of Practitioner of the Year in Spain (Patent & Trademark Attorney Firms), cementing his unmistakable position as one of the most respected and prominent IP professionals in Spain.
