We are delighted to announce that Taylor Wessing’s Global Intellectual Property Index (GIPI), compiled by Z/Yen, has just won the “Excellence in Marketing & Business Development Award” at the 2008 Law Society Awards ceremony held on 23rd October. We built GIPI with a similar methodology to the Global Financial Centres Index using PropheZy our proprietary prediction engine. The report is available to download here. GIPI is updated annually and GIPI 2 is due for publication in May 2009. We are currently updating the questionnaire and will be e-mailing a link to our community of Now & Z/Yen readers shortly.
