Congratulations to David Steele, Howard Kroll, and Sandy Wunderlich, recognized in the 2021 edition of World Trademark Review 1000: The World’s Leading Trademark Professionals (WTR 1000). For the third consecutive year, David and Howard are ranked in United States: California. New to WTR 1000, Sandy is recognized in United States: Missouri. Tucker Ellis is ranked as a firm in the Bronze band of United States: California in the area of enforcement and litigation.

Gold band-ranked for 2021, David “thinks outside the box and is exceptionally creative. His insight on cyber issues is highly beneficial and the quality of his service is great – he is responsive on all matters, large and small.”

Silver band-ranked for 2021, Howard “protects his clients in a smart, positive and energetic way, while facilitating business rather than being a barrier to it.”

Recommended for 2021, Sandy “knows what it takes to get difficult jobs done. Distinguished by her IP trial and appellate experience, she is a powerful weapon in the armoury of Tucker Ellis, a firm well reputed for its robust enforcement capabilities.”

The WTR 1000 research directory, which focuses exclusively on trademark practices and practitioners, has firmly established itself as the definitive ‘go-to’ resource for those seeking world-class legal trademark expertise. As with previous editions, to arrive at the 2021 rankings, World Trademark Review undertook an exhaustive qualitative research project to identify the firms and individuals that are deemed outstanding in this critical area of practice. When identifying the leading firms, factors such as depth of expertise, market presence, and the level of work on which they are typically instructed were all taken into account, alongside positive peer and client feedback.
