McKool Smith Principals Nick Mathews, Nick Matich, and Kevin Schubert have been recognized among the world’s leading IP strategists in the latest edition of the IAM Strategy 300. This exclusive publication features individuals who, after rigorous evaluation by a global team based in London, Washington, DC, and Hong Kong, are identified as top practitioners in developing and executing strategies to maximize the value of patents, copyrights, trademarks, and other intellectual property rights.
