Inventa was recognised in the IAM Patent 1000 2026, the annual guide to leading patent professionals and firms published by IAM. The Portuguese firm was listed as a recommended firm for patent prosecution, the category the guide uses to identify practices active in the drafting, filing and examination of patent applications.

The IAM Patent 1000 bases its rankings on research conducted through interviews with clients and market peers. The patent prosecution category covers the work involved in securing patent rights, from application drafting through to grant, which for a Portuguese firm typically extends to filings before the national industrial property office and the European Patent Office. A recommended-firm listing places Inventa among the practices the guide identifies as participants in this segment of the Portuguese patent market.

One of the firm’s practitioners was named individually in the 2026 edition. Vitor Sérgio Moreira was listed as a recommended individual for patent prosecution, a designation that reflects individual recognition within the guide in the same field as the firm’s ranking.

The IAM Patent 1000 is published annually and organises its rankings by jurisdiction and by type of work, distinguishing prosecution from litigation and transactional practice. It is used by in-house counsel and referral sources as one reference point when identifying external patent advisers. Inventa’s 2026 placement records the firm among those the guide identifies as active in patent prosecution in Portugal.
