The MIP IP STARS 2025 rankings of the leading and most recommended firms and professionals in the trademark field have been published. Kaulo & Partners continues to strengthen its position as one of the top-tier and most recommended trademark law firms in Finland — standing proudly alongside the traditional big law firms.
In the expert evaluations, founding partners Jani Kaulo and Maria Puronvarsi once again earned strong recognition as Trademark Stars.
Being ranked in the 'Trademark prosecution law firms – Tier 2' category and receiving dual Trademark Star awards is a significant achievement for our boutique law firm.
"There has clearly been demand for our new and innovative way of handling our clients' brand rights issues comprehensively and proactively. Our success in client work is also evidenced by the fact that, despite economically challenging times, we have steadily increased our turnover and client base since the company was founded. We also recently received the Growth Company Certificate by the legendary Finnish financial newspaper, Kauppalehti. This certificate is granted to only 3% of Finnish limited companies that have grown faster than their peers in the past three years," comments our Managing Partner Jani Kaulo.
“We aim to continue expanding our team of brand rights experts and to attract the best talents in the field. We are thrilled that Kirsi Ekström, a seasoned trademark professional and recipient of the ‘Finnish Corporate IP Star 2024’ award for her trademark expertise, joined our team this spring. Her strong in-house IPR experience from industry adds great value to our client service,” Kaulo adds.
