MIP STARS 2025 | Several mentions for Laine IP

Managing Intellectual Property, the leading publication in the IPR sector, has published the results of its survey for the previous year. Laine IP has received a new MIP STAR, with our lawyer Tom-Erik Hagelberg receiving a MIP STAR mention for his trademark work.

In total, 9 Laine IP experts have received the MIP STAR award. Others include Tatu Ahlskog and Kathy Wasström for patent work, and Tom-Erik Hagelberg, Reijo Kokko, Jemina Koskela and Joose Kilpimaa for trademark work.

In addition to the MIP STAR awards, Tiia-Riikka Kittilä, Liisa Sarnes Salokoski and Joni Vehmas have been awarded the “Rising Star” award.

We are particularly proud that Kathy Wasström has been selected for the “Top 250 Women in IP” list in addition to the MIP STAR award.

At the corporate level, we are at the highest “Tier 1” level in both the patent and trademark categories. You can find the rankings here.

These rankings are very important to us, as they are based on ratings from clients and peers. Already a quarter of our experts are included in the MIP STAR ranking, and at the firm level we have maintained the highest level.

A big thank you for all this goes to our clients and colleagues around the world who have contributed to the survey by commenting on our work. Our success in this important survey motivates us to keep improving, and we will do our part to support our clients in their success.
