We are delighted to announce that the results for the World Trademark Review 1000 for 2026 have been finalised, recognising Mladen Vukmir, Carla Biancotti, Aleksandar Bijelić, and VUKMIR + ASSOCIATES for outstanding achievements in the field of trademarks and intellectual property.
As noted by WTR 1000, VUKMIR + ASSOCIATES is “a force inseparable from the past and future of Croatian intellectual property.” With an eminent presence across the Baltic–Adriatic region, the firm stands as a distinguished pillar in the Croatian legal landscape, “renowned for its exceptional expertise in intellectual property law.”
At the helm of the firm’s IP practice, Mladen Vukmir is described as “an icon of Croatian intellectual property” who has dedicated his career to building a national powerhouse while fostering the development of the international IP landscape across the region.
The publication also highlights Carla Biancotti, noting that “the firm would be incomplete without IP savant Carla Biancotti, who spearheads the firm’s prosecution department and is chair of ECTA’s Professional Affairs and Membership Committee.”
Meanwhile, Aleksandar Bijelić is recognised as “a polyglot with an exceptional grasp of the legal and commercial markets,” having successfully led some of the firm’s most high-stakes IP cases involving the world’s leading industry names.
We thank World Trademark Review for this recognition and extend our congratulations to all our colleagues for their continued excellence and commitment. With the same enthusiasm and dedication, we will keep advancing the field of intellectual property in Croatia and beyond.
