FPA Patent Attorneys is delighted to share that five of its principals have received the prestigious “Patent Star” designation in Managing IP’s IP Stars 2025 rankings.
The distinguished group includes four Australia-based principals—Karen Bentley, Chris Bird, Adam Denley, and John Dower—alongside Singapore-based principal Desmond Tan. This recognition highlights their excellence as intellectual property attorneys in private practice and their significant contributions to both firm and client success across diverse specialisations:
- Karen Bentley: biotechnology, food technology, pharmaceutical, agricultural and life sciences.
- Chris Bird: computer science and engineering disciplines.
- Adam Denley: biotechnology and pharmaceutical fields.
- John Dower: electrical and electronic engineering, mechanical engineering, and power electronics inventions.
- Desmond Tan: engineering, clean energy technology, computing and telecommunications, and medical technology.
Managing Principal John Dower expressed his enthusiasm about the achievement: “This is great recognition for the individual principals, but more significantly their achievements are only possible as a result of the competence and dedication of the FPA team as a whole as well as the unwavering support of our clients.”
These Managing IP IP Stars accolades complement the firm’s recent success in IAM Patent 1000’s 2025 rankings, where FPA Patent Attorneys retained its Gold Tier 1 status for Patent Prosecution and saw nine principals earn ‘recommended’ recognition.
