The 2020 Asian Legal Business IP rankings have been announced and recognise JurisAsia LLC, the Singapore-based law firm exclusively associated with Gowling WLG, among the region's leading law firms.

JurisAsia LLC achieved a Tier 1 ranking for both Patents and Copyright/Trademarks for Singapore. The results highlight the strength of the firm's expertise and reputation for specialist IP and technology-focused work in the growing Singapore market.

Asia is increasingly becoming a major innovation hub and, alongside this trend, there is a marked growth in the filing of patents and trademarks. Already, Singapore is the biggest source of international patent filings in Southeast Asia.

JurisAsia provides high-quality, innovative and commercial advice to clients across South East Asia. Its internationally-ranked lawyers are leading experts in their field and help clients from a wide range of business sectors to secure, exploit and extract value from their IP.

The firm's success in these latest rankings adds to a number of high-profile accolades for Gowling WLG's global IP team this year. These include impressive firmwide rankings in the latest edition of World Trademark Review's WTR 1000 rankings, and four "Firm of the Year" accolades at the 2020 MIP EMEA Awards. The team also gained widespread international recognition in 2020's Managing Intellectual property (MIP) 'IP Stars' Trademark rankings and is named one of the top international IP firms by World Intellectual Property Review in its WIPR Leaders 2020 guide.
