- UK (England) Patent Disputes Firm of the Year (Patent & Trademark Attorney Firms)
- EPO Proceedings Firm of the Year
- UK (England) Patent Practitioner of the Year – John Brunner

Hugh Goodfellow, Senior Partner at Carpmaels & Ransford, comments:
“We’re really pleased to see our work recognised across multiple categories again this year. These awards highlight the strength of our patent disputes work and our experience before the EPO, as well as the support that our teams provide to our clients on increasingly complex cross‑border matters across Europe. For any dispute which touches or threatens to touch the EPO, the UPC, and/or crosses borders within Europe, we believe the firm offers clients a great choice to run these matters. It’s great to see this recognised by MIP.”
The annual Managing IP EMEA Awards recognise the achievements of law firms and practitioners across more than 60 jurisdictions worldwide.
