Patentree was recognised in IP STARS 2026, the intellectual property rankings published by Managing IP. The Portuguese firm was listed as a recommended firm and noted as having held a ranking for five or more consecutive years, a marker the guide applies to practices with a sustained record of inclusion.

IP STARS assesses intellectual property firms and practitioners through research based on submissions and interviews with clients and market participants. Rankings are organised by jurisdiction and cover both patent and trademark work. A recommended-firm listing places Patentree among the practices the guide identifies as active in the Portuguese IP market, while the multi-year designation reflects continuity in that recognition across successive editions rather than a single year’s placement.

Two of the firm’s practitioners were named individually in the 2026 edition. Luís Humberto Ferreira and Anabela Carvalho were each listed as IP STARS individuals. Their inclusion records individual recognition within the guide alongside the firm-level ranking.

IP STARS is one of several directories that evaluate the intellectual property market on a country-by-country basis and is used by in-house counsel and referral sources as one reference point when selecting external advisers. Its methodology distinguishes firms by jurisdiction and by area of practice. Patentree’s 2026 listing places the firm among those the guide identifies in Portugal, with the multi-year note underlining its continued presence in the rankings.
