Further successes in the WTR 1000 2025 ranking
The beginning of the year is a heated and exciting time for intellectual property law experts. This is because the majority are waiting for the next installment of the WTR 1000 ranking, which surveys and evaluates the world’s top trademark protection specialists.
We have just learned the results of this year’s list – and they are fantastic. Piotr Kochański makes his debut in the ranking, receiving an individual recommendation, and Karolina Marciniszyn, who co-heads the Intellectual and Industrial Property Law Practice with him, maintained her previous year’s. We have equally good results as a firm, receiving an honorable mention for prosecution and strategy for the first time, and a place in the Silver band for enforcement and litigation.
This is the best prognosis for us for the rest of this exceptional year.
WTR 1000 for 2025
What sets us apart in the market is the speed and quality of our work, as well as our excellent contact with our clients and our deep understanding of their business. And thanks to this, and with the support of modern technology, we can be truly effective, offering the companies we work with unique advice.
That’s why we are particularly pleased with this year’s evaluation and the first, in the history of our practice, recommendation in the prosecution and strategy category.
This shows that our strategies related to intellectual property protection are not only well thought out, but also effectively and exemplarily implemented.
Other good news for the practice as a whole is that we remain in the Silver band in the enforcement and litigation category and the Jury’s reasoning:
“The team at Kochanski & Partners are consistently high-quality, demonstrating a great depth and breadth of knowledge throughout the firm.” The outfit is a superb option for those looking for close partner relationships and experienced experts who are on hand to answer any and all questions.”
WTR 1000 – first individual recommendation for Piotr Kochanski
“Leading the trademark practice, Karolina Marciniszyn is a hands-on partner dedicated to quality and value. She has an acute sense of where things are going when it comes to disputes. Namesake Piotr Kochanski makes his debut in the WTR 1000 this year. He identifies issues, devises strategies, and sees them through with great success.”
Karolina Marciniszyn once again received an individual recommendation and a place in the Silver band in the enforcement and litigation category, as well as a recommendation in prosecution and strategy.
Great news is also the debut in the ranking of Piotr Kochański, who was recognized in the prosecution and strategy category.
This success is fully deserved, as last year Piotr was the driving force behind the entire practice and a leader of change who proved his ability to see non-obvious connections and effectively combine potentials, achieving both business success and progress in sustainability.
