The 2026 rankings have attracted a strong and truly global response, reflecting the leadership, innovation, and impact women continue to bring to the intellectual property profession worldwide. Building on the foundation established last year, this year’s rankings place an even greater emphasis on merit, achievement, and meaningful contribution within the global IP ecosystem.
Rankings and category placements are determined exclusively on the basis of the information submitted in the nomination form. Each submission is subject to a rigorous review process conducted by our research team, combining professional assessment with advanced filtering methods to ensure objective and accurate outcomes. Final placement reflects a nominee’s demonstrated impact and influence across relevant areas of intellectual property and may extend beyond their principal area of expertise.
We thank all participants for their submissions and warmly congratulate the women recognised in the 2026 rankings, whose work continues to shape and advance the future of intellectual property law and innovation worldwide.
Your stories of leadership and innovation continue to inspire and shape the future of IP law.
