TransactionsIP Co-Founders Richard Ehrlickman and Tom Major Recognized as top IP Value Creators in IAM Strategy 300 – The World’s Leading Intellectual Property Strategists for 2020
Richard Ehrlickman and Tom Major ranked as one of The World’s Leading Intellectual Property Strategists by Intellectual Asset Magazine (IAM). The IAM Strategy 300 is a unique guide that lists the individuals who have demonstrated world-class skills in the development and roll-out of strategies that maximize the value of patents, copyrights, trademarks and other intellectual property rights.
“It is a privilege and honor once again to be recognized by IAM for our IP expertise and our contributions to the IP industry. As IP value creators and strategists, we create maximum value for our clients from their Patents and IP Assets” said Mr. Ehrlickman. “Rich and I have been working together for over 10 years in support of client IP transactions. Again, I would like to thank IAM for the recognition and the contribution that it brings to the IP industry” said Mr. Major.
Mr. Ehrlickman continued “Tom and I pride ourselves on ‘Getting the Deal Done’ and being ‘Closers’ as we finalize successful IP Transactions for our clients. Therefore, the company we founded is appropriately named TransactionsIP.” Mr. Ehrlickman has been named to the IAM Strategy 300 since its inception, and this is the fourth year for Mr. Major.
“Intellectual property helps to drive the 21st century economy, creating strong incentives to invest in the creation and roll-out of brands and all types of content, as well as the innovation process. This makes IP strategists more important than they have ever been before. Their ability to create significant value makes them indispensable, wherever in the world they operate,” says IAM editor Joff Wild.
