Pirkey Barber is proud to announce its recognition as one of the top intellectual property firms in the United States in the 2023 World Trademark Review’s WTR 1000 Rankings. The firm received a Gold ranking Nationwide, Gold ranking in Texas, and Bronze ranking in the D.C. Metro area, and was recognized as “one of the most sophisticated practices in the country.”
With the publication of the 2023 rankings, Pirkey Barber expands on its decade-plus trend of earning high marks in this elite listing of trademark law firms. Researchers at the World Trademark Review interviewed hundreds of attorneys and their clients over a 4-month period, then used this qualitative research to identify top firms and individuals. In addition to the firmwide rankings, the guide recognized nineteen individual attorneys as leading practitioners in the field – the most individual rankings of any firm in the state of Texas and tied for third most in the United States.
“We are honored to see our team’s exceptional ranking in this highly regarded publication, affirming our standing as a national leader in the trademark space,” said Jered Matthysse, a member of the firm’s Management Committee. “We take great pride in helping clients across the United States and internationally establish, monetize, and protect their brands. We consistently earn both individual and firmwide recognition nationwide, demonstrating the value our clients place on our work and the confidence they have in our team.”
