Wu Yi among Top 50 most influential figures in IP
Hitachi IP counsel Yasuo Sakuta and Japanese inventor Shuji Nakamura are also featured in a new list. They are among 50 figures from business, government and the law in the second edition of the MIP 50.
Americans dominate the MIP 50, accounting for nearly half of the total. These include US Patent and Trademark Office director Jon Dudas, judge Pauline Newman and International Trademark Association president Jacqueline Leimer.
China has four representatives on the list: Vice-premier Wu Yi, Judge Jiang Zhipei, academic Zheng Chengsi and State Intellectual Property Office head Wang Jingchuan. From Japan Shuji Nakamura and Yasuo Sakuta are included.
Other prominent individuals from the Asia-Pacific region on the list include Indian intellectual property activist Vandana Shiva, Philip Yeo of the Singapore Economic Development Board and R C Lahoti, Chief Justice of India.
The list was compiled by Managing Intellectual Property's journalists and researchers in London, New York and Hong Kong, based on research among IP practitioners worldwide. Managing Intellectual Property is published monthly by Euromoney Institutional Investor PLC and was founded 14 years ago.
