SpicyIP is pleased to announce that the IP Hall of Fame is welcoming new inductees, to be judged by the IP Hall of Fame Academy.
What is the IP Hall of Fame?
The IP Hall of Fame honours those who have made an outstanding contribution to the development of intellectual property law and practice. Devised and developed by leading IP publication Intellectual Asset Management magazine, it identifies individuals who have helped to establish intellectual property as one of the key business assets of the 21st century. The aim is not only to acknowledge the vital role played by these innovators in fostering today’s vibrant IP environment and ensuring its continued health, but also to show how central IP is to the global economy and to the wellbeing of people around the world.
Who are the past inductees into the IP Hall of Fame?

Academy members decide on who should be added to their prestigious ranks by choosing the top five candidates from all the nominations received.
When will the winners be announced?
The names of the inductees for 2012 will be announced in February. A gala dinner to honour them will be held on 25th June 2012 during the IP Business Congress, which is taking place in Portugal from 24th to 26th June.
We hope our readers find this information useful and make use of the nomination form as well.
