H&A ranked in “Best European companies and firms in the field of patents” by Financial Times

As every year, the Financial Times, the prestigious British newspaper, has published its ranking of the best European companies and firms in the field of patents, in which H&A appears.

This is a study of special value since its working methodology includes surveys carried out through the analysis of surveys conducted among clients and professionals of the sector. It is forbidden to “vote for yourself” in this study.

More than 10,000 patent experts, from both professional and innovative firms, have been directly invited this year to answer relevant questions regarding the quality of the services. These professionals have been selected from the websites of the firms and the European Patent Attorney Institute (EPI), the institution which hosts European patent agents acting before the European Patent Office (EPO).

The results have been divided into six major sectors, Biotechnology and Food, Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals, Electrical Engineering, IT and Software, Materials and Nanotechnology, and Mechanical Engineering. The most recommended in each of these sectors have been, in turn, classified into three categories, gold, silver and bronze, depending on the number of citations received in the more than 2,900 surveys answered.

For H&A it is an honor to belong to such a select club of professionals, above all because this membership depends on the opinion that clients and colleagues have of us.

We thank you all for trusting us and we promise to continue improving in order to constantly offer, as we have done up to now, the best quality of service in the defense of the culture of innovation; one of the most effective means of achieving a real level of competitiveness for European companies.
