Since 2006, the IP Hall of Fame has been honouring those individuals – living or dead – who have had a major positive impact on the IP landscape, whether as a lawyer, academic, business executive, inventor, politician, or in any other capacity. A list of the luminaries who have already been included can be found here.

If you know of somebody who deserves recognition for their ground-breaking contributions to the IP field, please nominate them to be a 2023 inductee here. Self-nominations and those deemed by the editorial team to be for promotional purposes will not be considered.
