Brussels – July 8, 2021: Intellectual Asset Management recognized Crowell & Moring in its IAM Patent 1000 – The World’s Leading Patent Practitioners guide, awarding the firm a gold band ranking as one of the top four firms handling patent litigation and transactions in Belgium. This marks the eighth consecutive year that the firm has been ranked in the guide. The guide also recognized Brussels partners Kristof Roox and Jan-Diederik Lindemans, and counsel Jurgen Figys.
