In May the British magazine Managing Intellectual Property again announced the names of IP professionals who can call themselves an “IP Star”. The list is the result of an independent worldwide study of IP firms and individual experts that is carried out annually based on questionnaires and interviews. The study resulted in no less than six IP Stars for V.O., namely Bettina Hermann, Cees Jansen, Leo Jessen, Bernard Ledeboer, Marie-José Luys and Otto Oudshoorn.
