Seed IP Law Group is a proud co-sponsor of the World Trademark Review (WTR) Industry Awards 2026. The ceremony is scheduled to take place in London, England, on Tuesday, May 5, at The Pelligon (Canary Wharf). A champagne and canapé reception will commence at 6:00 p.m., with presentations taking place shortly thereafter.

Seed IP is sponsoring the award for Food & Beverages Team of the Year.

The event, timed to coincide with the International Trademark Association (INTA) 148th Annual Meeting, is expected to be attended by over 250 senior in-house counsel from nominated companies and representatives from a number of prominent law firms.

To arrive at the shortlist, World Trademark Review conducted in-depth research of in-house counsel worldwide by surveying the global trademark community. Hundreds of nominations make the awards unique in clearly identifying those counsel – both teams and individuals– that have excelled in their sector or region. The nomination process was followed by a two-month research process, conducted by the WTR editorial team.

Victoria Arnold-Rees, editor of WTR, said: “Brands have never played a more important role in society. Yet trademark professionals – who play a crucial role in building strong brand identities, protecting consumers from counterfeits, and enhancing corporate value and reputation – are often the unsung heroes of their organizations. It is essential that their work is acknowledged both within their organizations and in the broader industry. This year's shortlisted teams and individuals represent truly the best in their field. The winners in particular deserve widespread recognition for their outstanding achievements.”
