IAM Lists Shook Partner as Leading IP Strategist

IAM, a source for IP news, analysis and data, has listed Shook Partner Clint Newton in its IAM Strategy 300: The World’s Leading IP Strategists 2025. IAM Strategy 300 is an annual guide that identifies top practitioners recognized for their “exceptional skill sets and profound insights into patent matters” by their IP peers. 

Newton’s law practice involves all aspects of intellectual property law, including the preparation and prosecution of patent and trademark applications and litigation in patent, trademark and copyright matters. In recent years, Newton has increasingly focused on internet-related intellectual property, representing e-commerce clients in domain name issues, copyright and trademark enforcement, software licensing, and preparation of affiliate and website use agreements.

Newton is a member of numerous IP organizations such as the International Trademark Association and the Intellectual Property Owners Association. Newton has also served as president of the Kansas City Metropolitan Bar Association’s Section of Patent, Copyright and Trademark. 

IAM listed Newton following his nomination and after face-to-face and telephone interviews, as well as email exchanges with senior members of the global IP community.
