Dehns is delighted to have had several of our attorneys recognised as “Rising Stars” in the 2024 IP Stars publication.

Dehns is delighted to have successfully retained its Band 1 ranking for another year, in the Intellectual Property: Patent & Trade Mark Attorneys category of the latest Chambers rankings.

As a follow-up to the Juve UPC litigation rankings last week, in which Dehns was one of only four UK patent attorney firms to appear in the rankings, Juve has published a follow-up article titled: “UK firms secure considerable slice of the UPC cake”. In this article it said that Dehns had “prevailed with a technically broader focus in UPC cases. Thanks to its close ties to core clients, this patent attorney firm was one of the few UK firms to be present at the UPC from an early stage.”

Dehns is delighted to announce that it has been ranked in the 2025 World Trademark Review (WTR) 1000 ranking, in the ‘Prosecution and strategy’ category.

Dehns is delighted to have been shortlisted in several categories for the Managing IP Awards ceremony, which will be held on the 10^th April at the Royal Lancaster, London.
