For over two decades, Managing Intellectual Property (MIP) has been at the forefront of conducting extensive annual surveys assessing the quality and client satisfaction of patent and trademark services offered by intellectual property firms located in nearly every country in the world. This year over 1,700 firms participated in the IP STARS research, with only the highest-recommended firms earning a place in the rankings. The trademark rankings have been released, with the patent results and evaluations set to follow later this summer.
Berggren has consistently been recognized as a top IP firm in MIP’s annual survey, and this year is no different. In the 2025 trademark report, Berggren is pleased to have been awarded a “Tier 1” ranking in trademark prosecution and to be listed as “notable firm” for trademark disputes. This achievement underscores Berggren's unique position as a full-service IP and legal firm, authorized to represent clients in all courts in Finland, and recognized in both trademark -categories.
