These rankings are of great importance, as it gives a firm recognition of their services and provides insight in the client’s satisfactory. The leading ranking institution in this respect, is the WTR 1000. The WTR 1000 lists the leading companies in the field of trademark law per country. We are proud to announce that this year, Abcor is once again recommended in the WTR1000 for the Benelux.

 

The list is established based on feedback from our global clients, agents, foreign trademark offices as well as law firms, and other business associates.

In addition to the commendation of our firm, individual recommendations were awarded to our trademark attorneys Mirjam de Werd and Theo-Willem van Leeuwen. Mirjam was specially mentioned as a newcomer on the ranking. Mirjam earned her spot after amassing almost 20 years of experience in the profession and due to her current role as president of the Marques China team.

About Abcor

Abcor specializes in applying for trademark and design rights. We do this worldwide for both SMEs and international companies, but often everything starts with an initial Benelux application. Our aim is to relieve the client of all the worries, which is why we take care of all the steps, from initial advice on what to apply for and how, right through to registration.

In addition to applying for trademarks, we also manage portfolios for our clients. We ensure that trademarks are renewed on time, that the right organizations are paid (given the many fraudulent companies), and we support our clients on issues.

In addition, we are sparring partners for our customers on new products and how to shape and claim new ideas.
