IAM Strategy 300 2020

August 2020

IAM Strategy 300: The World’s Leading IP Strategists guide has now been published and HGF is proud to have 3 Partners listed.

IAM Strategy 300: The World’s Leading IP Strategists is IAM’s annual listing of individuals who lead the way in the development and implementation of world-class IP value creation programmes.

The guide identifies the world-class IP strategists who do not see issues from just one perspective; instead, they see value creation in the round. It is this 360-degree perspective, combined with a demonstrable ability to deliver, which makes them stand out from the crowd.

HGF has 3 Partners listed in the guide in 2020:

Dr Andrew Wells

Hsu Min Chung
