Sunstein LLP is delighted to announce that partner and firm founder Bruce D. Sunstein has been selected as a top Intellectual Property strategist and practitioner by IAM in their 2024 IAM Strategy 300: The World’s Leading IP Strategists.

IAM Strategy 300 identifies those who are taking IP portfolio management to the “next level” and “leading the way in developing and implementing strategies that maximize the value of IP portfolios.” Practitioners listed within the guide are identified through nominations as well as interviews with senior members of the global IP community. Individuals are considered for their skills, contributions and successes within their respective organizations and the industry.

Over the course of his five decades in practice, Bruce has enabled a wide range of enterprises to achieve dominant patent positions in their markets. Patents issuing on applications that he has handled have been enforced for 8- and 9-figure infringement recoveries. He is a patent and IP strategist for market leaders and start-ups in diverse industries, including computer hardware and software, electronic circuits and systems, communications and speech, medical devices, pharmaceuticals bioinformatics, and mechanical devices. He also is an experienced expert witness, and arbitrator, in IP disputes.

Bruce regularly speaks to national audiences on IP law and business strategy, and has authored numerous papers on IP matters. Further, since 2010, he has served as a mentor in MIT’s Venture Mentoring Service, providing MIT faculty, students, and alumni with advice and guidance on launching and nurturing start-ups, focusing primarily on IP-related issues.

In addition to this distinction from IAM, Bruce recently was selected for the Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly 2024 “Hall of Fame” and has earned annual recognitions for his IP work within IAM Patent 1000, Best Lawyers, and Super Lawyers.
