EIP has again been named one of Europe's leading patent law firms by the Financial Times. In its 2026 ranking, EIP earned gold in five of the six technology sectors, and silver in the sixth, Materials and Nanotechnology. It is the eighth year running the firm has featured, every year since the ranking began in 2019.
This recognition runs right across technology. EIP's teams work in life sciences and chemistry, engineering and electronics, software and advanced materials, and clients rely on the firm across every one. Whatever the field, they get the same depth and the same commercial focus.
Behind the ratings are EIP's teams across Europe and the clients who trust them with their most important patent work. The firm brings patent attorneys and litigators together in one firm, so it can support clients from the first filing through to the most complex disputes. That mix of technical depth and litigation strength, across a wide range of industries, is what this recognition reflects.
The ranking is built on recommendations. The Financial Times and its research partner Statista ask thousands of patent attorneys and clients across Europe which firms they rate. EIP has been recommended every year since 2019. That comes from clients and peers choosing to put the firm forward, and EIP is grateful to every one of them. Thank you.
Eight years among Europe's leading firms, with gold across five sectors, reflects the strength and range of our team. It is recognition we are proud of, and we are determined to keep earning it."
