An IP Star Recognized: Jeffrey W. Gluck Joins IAM Strategy 300 Global Leaders

Announcement: a high-profile recognition for an IP lawyer

Jeffrey W. Gluck, a partner at Panitch Schwarze Belisario & Nadel LLP, has been named to the IAM Strategy 300 Global Leaders list for 2026, according to a press release published on December 19, 2025. The IAM list is a well-known industry guide that highlights leading figures in intellectual property law around the world. The announcement names Gluck specifically for his work in IP litigation and counseling, putting him among a short list of lawyers and strategists judged to be influential in how patents and other IP rights are protected and enforced.

The recognition is drawn from an annual compilation that IAM releases and circulates in the IP community. For Gluck, the mention is a public nod to his recent case work and his profile in patent disputes. For readers, the news is a clear signal that a single lawyer’s reputation can lift the profile of their whole firm in a field where expertise matters to companies and inventors.

What the IAM Strategy 300 list represents and why it matters

The IAM Strategy 300 is not a popularity contest. It aims to identify people who shape the business of intellectual property—lawyers, in-house counsel, advisers and strategists whose actions change how IP is handled and fought over. Selection is based on peer nominations, documented case work and a judge of influence: whether someone has made tangible changes to the way IP is bought, sold, licensed or litigated.

In plain terms, inclusion on the list tells clients and rivals that a lawyer is trusted and active at a high level. It helps lawyers keep or win work because clients often want advisors who are known and respected by peers. Within the legal world, the IAM list is a conversation starter. Lawyers and firms named by IAM are more likely to be invited to lead negotiations, be asked to speak at conferences, or be offered roles on complex cross-border matters where a known reputation matters as much as price.

Jeffrey W. Gluck — profile, expertise and notable work

Jeffrey W. Gluck holds a Ph.D., which underlines a technical depth not all litigators have. His background combines scientific training with courtroom experience, a mix that is especially useful in patent disputes where judges and juries must understand technical ideas. Gluck’s practice centers on intellectual property litigation and counseling, including patent enforcement and defenses for clients in sectors where technology and innovation are central.

Over his career he has handled a range of IP matters, from advising on licensing deals to representing companies in contested cases. That range helps explain why peers and clients see him as a strategist—someone who can weigh legal risk, commercial interest and the technical facts of a dispute. While specific cases were not detailed in the announcement, the IAM nod typically reflects recent wins or sustained work on notable matters. It also rewards lawyers who contribute to the community through writing, speaking, or teaching, activities that raise a lawyer’s profile beyond individual courtroom results.

What the honor means for Panitch Schwarze and its clients

Panitch Schwarze Belisario & Nadel LLP is a regional law firm with a clear focus on intellectual property among other practices. A partner’s inclusion on a global list like IAM’s can serve as a visible endorsement of a firm’s IP capabilities. For current clients, it signals that their adviser is recognized among peers. For potential clients, the recognition reduces friction: firms with named leaders get more calls and referrals when complex IP issues arise.

Practically speaking, the accolade may help the firm attract higher-profile matters, deepen relationships with existing clients, and open doors to cross-border work where a recognized name matters. It also helps the firm’s recruiting pitch for associates who want to work alongside recognized leaders in the field.

Official comment, next steps and contacts for follow-up

In a suggested comment accompanying the announcement, Jeffrey W. Gluck said: “I am honored to be included in the IAM Strategy 300. This recognition reflects the collaborative work of our team and our clients’ trust in tackling difficult technical disputes.” The firm added that it plans to highlight the recognition in upcoming client briefings and on its website.

Panitch Schwarze also provided a short firm boilerplate in the release, describing itself as a law firm that focuses on intellectual property, litigation and counseling for clients ranging from startups to established companies. For reporters or potential clients seeking more detail, the firm listed a media contact in the release; readers should refer to the firm’s official press materials for the full contact information and for any scheduled public events where Mr. Gluck may speak.
