IAM and WTR Recognize Lowenstein and Partners Vanessa A. Ignacio and Matthew P. Hintz in Inaugural Copyright 1000

IAM and World Trademark Review (WTR) have recognized Lowenstein Sandler's Trademarks, Copyrights, Trade Secrets & Advertising practice in the inaugural edition of Copyright 1000. The guide also recognizes partner Vanessa A. Ignacio, who Chairs the group, and partner Matthew P. Hintz. The recognition extends the firm's run that includes 15 consecutive years on the WTR 1000, with copyright now categorized as its own discipline.

The Copyright 1000 is the first standalone guide devoted exclusively to copyright practice and highlights the leading firms and individuals operating at the very top of the copyright legal market across key national jurisdictions. It provides an authoritative guide to the practices shaping copyright law and enforcement worldwide.

Ignacio represents Fortune 500 companies and internationally recognized brands across the full life cycle of their creative and brand assets, from clearance and registration through licensing, enforcement, and anti-counterfeiting. She works with clients in consumer goods, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, animal health and life sciences, fintech, digital media, footwear and apparel, and food and beverage, often from a brand's earliest days and sometimes for a decade or more.

Hintz advises startups and multinational brands on domestic and international portfolio strategy, market expansion, and brand protection, and represents private equity firms and investors in multimillion-dollar transactions in which trademark and copyright portfolios sit at the center of the deal. His clients span pharmaceuticals, beauty and skincare, consumer goods, and technology.
