World Intellectual Property Review  (WIPR) has launched its inaugural WIPR Influential Women in IP  publication—an initiative that highlights women across the globe who are incubating and propelling necessary change and innovation in the practice of intellectual property. As part of this project, Tilleke & Gibbins is proud to announce that Darani Vachanavuttivong, co-managing partner and managing director of the firm’s IP practice, has been named as one of the top 80 women in IP worldwide.

In response to the listing, Darani said that she is “… deeply honored to be named as an influential woman in IP alongside many of the practitioners from whom I draw inspiration. I only hope that the fruits of my practice will be a catalyst in motivating and inspiring the next generation of women in IP to challenge the status quo and continually advance the practice of IP.”

WIPR is a leading legal publication that provides insights and analysis on copyright, patent, and trademark legislation and practice from around the world. Research for this list of industry leaders was conducted through an extensive survey addressing gender equality in IP practice, through which respondents could nominate outstanding women in the field.
