Southern Innovation's IP strategist Duncan Bucknell has been named among the world's leading IP strategists by Intellectual Asset Management magazine.

Announced in London on 1 June, the list identifies the world's top intellectual property strategists. It was compiled after an exhaustive nomination and interview process by IAM magazine (www.iam-magazine.com/ipstrategists). Duncan, CEO of the Duncan Bucknell Company, was recognised for his work in legal, licensing and intellectual asset management. His popular blog IP Think Tank (www.duncanbucknell.com/blog) is an agenda-setter in the IP industry.

Southern Innovation Managing Director David Scoullar says he's glad to have a world leader protecting and promoting the intellectual property of SITORO®.

‘With SITORO® we have an innovation that has a lot of different applications. It's taken our company into a wide range of industries, each with its own culture around adopting new technologies. So it's fantastic to have Duncan in our corner, managing and expanding our IP interests,' he said.
