Russell Binns, AST CEO, named to the 2016 IAM Magazine list of “the world’s elite IP deal makers”

The IAM Market Makers – our annual listing of the individuals we consider to be the most influential in driving the global IP transactions market – was first published in 2014. That initial list was dominated by US companies and also featured a significant number of non-practising entities (NPEs). Three years on and the 2016 assembly reflects just how much has changed in the world of IP deals: this year’s list features many more individuals working at Asian entities and a significant European presence. There is less US representation than in previous years – unsurprising, given that the list features far fewer NPE executives. These changes reflect the ongoing development of the IP transactions market as it becomes truly global.
