Kelly IP attorneys David Kelly, Linda McLeod, Lynn Jordan, and Stephanie Bald have been selected by the World Trademark Review among the WTR Global Leaders 2025, a list recognizing the world’s foremost law firm and corporate trademark practitioners.

With four WTR Global Leaders, Kelly IP led all trademark firms in the DC Metro Area. In addition to their WTR Global Leaders honors, the four were among seven Kelly IP attorneys selected to this year’s World Trademark Review 1000:

● David was described as a lawyer who “is widely regarded for his gold-standard trademark capabilities” and has a “knack for deftly managing prominent disputes and building robust portfolios.”

● Linda was said to be “sought after for her expertise in TTAB cases” and “her extensive experience as an examining attorney at the USPTO further solidifies her reputation.”

● Lynn was described as “an expert in the field” who “provides practical, actionable advice on the most complex matters.”

● Stephanie was called “well versed in federal courts across the country” and a lawyer who “leverages over two decades of experience to craft out-of-the-box solutions and compelling arguments.” Also, Stephanie was recently chosen as one of Managing IP’s Top 250 Women in IP for 2025.
