We have also been awarded gold status in Ireland, silver in Scotland, bronze in England and Wales, and for the first time, we have been listed as recommended in Italy.

In their recommendation, IAM noted:

“Murgitroyd is an excellent firm to work with. It is home to a broad and highly skilled team, which allows it to turn matters around at speed while retaining the quality of its output.”

“Supporting a whole host of well-known companies with all their IP protection needs, Murgitroyd stands out for its deep bench of technologically skilled patent attorneys who are committed to seeing their clients succeed.”

With its offices serving as global springboards, the outfit has a presence in Italy, England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Finland and Germany.”


IAM’s Patent 1000 is compiled after an extensive, five-month research process. Conducting 1,800 interviews with industry specialists worldwide, IAM’s analysts form the definitive directory exclusively dedicated to identifying the world’s leading patent service providers.

Only those who have been identified for their exceptional skillsets and profound insights into patent matters feature in the IAM Patent 1000, and so we are very proud of Murgitroyd's inclusion across multiple jurisdictions and 16 individual recognitions.
