WTR 1000 Honors Hanks & IP Team

Moore & Van Allen’s Intellectual Property practice was recognized as one of six recommended North Carolina trademark practices in the sixth edition of World Trademark Review 1000 – The World’s Leading Trademark Professionals. Research Triangle Managing Member Arlene Hanks was featured as one of nine leading North Carolina trademark practitioners.

Two-thirds of the Fortune 500 companies stationed in North Carolina trust Moore & Van Allen with the protection of their intellectual property. National banks, emerging technology companies and household names in the retail sector have all benefited from the set’s commercially minded counsel. Helming the trademark squad, Hanks is an acclaimed all-rounder whose strategies for maximizing the value of a brand come widely recommended.
