Società Italiana Brevetti was recognised in the IAM Patent 1000 2026, the guide to the world’s leading patent practitioners and firms published by IAM. The firm was placed in the top tier for patent prosecution in Italy, the highest of the categories the guide uses to group ranked firms in that field.

The IAM Patent 1000 assesses patent firms and individuals through research based on interviews with clients and market peers. The patent prosecution category covers the preparation, filing and examination of patent applications, work that for an Italian firm typically extends to filings before the Italian Patent and Trademark Office and the European Patent Office. A top-tier listing signals that the guide’s researchers positioned Società Italiana Brevetti among the most frequently cited firms in this segment of the Italian market.

Three practitioners from the firm were named individually in the 2026 edition. Claudio Germinario, Gaetano Barbaro and Elisabetta Papa were each listed as recommended individuals. Their inclusion reflects individual recognition within the guide in addition to the firm-level ranking, and spans several members of the practice rather than a single figurehead.

The IAM Patent 1000 is published annually and is one of a number of directories used by in-house counsel and referral sources when identifying external patent advisers. Rankings are organised by jurisdiction and by type of work, distinguishing prosecution from litigation and transactional practice. The 2026 placement records Società Italiana Brevetti among the firms the guide identifies as leading contributors to patent prosecution work in Italy.
