Ismael Igartua, Eduardo Gonzalez, Amaia Sarasola and Idoia Apraiz have once again been included in the list of recommended professionals of the prestigious publication \u201cIAM Patent 1000 \u2013 The World\u2019s Leading Patent Professionals\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n

This is what the guide of 2026 says about GALBAIAN, Ismael, Eduardo, Amaia and Idoia:<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Spain\u2019s industrial north, GALBAIAN<\/strong> has built a patent practice that mirrors the engineering culture of its environment: rigorous, technically fluent and commercially pragmatic. Frequently described as \u201ca highly competent IP firm with a strong technical orientation,\u201d the outfit has become a natural reference point for technology-driven industrial companies seeking patent advice grounded in real-world manufacturing and applied research. For universities and research institutions with strong industrial collaboration, the firm\u2019s ability to bridge academic research and market-ready technologies is particularly valued. One long-standing institutional partner notes that GALBAIAN \u201cunderstands not only academic research but also its translation into market-ready technologies,\u201d highlighting the team\u2019s ability to transform complex hardware and software developments into robust, commercially meaningful patent claims.<\/em><\/p>\n

At the helm stands Ismael Igartua<\/strong>, whose steadfast leadership has shaped the firm\u2019s strategic direction for over two decades. \u201cIsmael is a fountain of knowledge, always ready to help with any doubt related with IP at any moment. He demonstrates deep technical understanding, clarity in communication, and an exceptional ability to transform complex research into strong, commercially meaningful patent claims. His expertise in software-related protection has been particularly valuable and has made him a trusted partner\u201d. Eduardo Gonz\u00e1lez<\/strong> is widely recognised for his ability to engage with complex industrial technologies from their earliest R&D stages. Clients emphasise his \u201cremarkable ability to understand the technology in depth and to identify what is truly inventive,\u201d a skill that allows him to convert intricate engineering developments into clear, strategically structured patent applications. His close involvement in drafting is repeatedly cited as a defining strength, particularly in industrial automation and control systems. Beyond technical mastery, he brings a broad business perspective, aligning patent protection with sector-specific competitive dynamics and long-term exploitation plans. Amaia Sarasola<\/strong> further reinforces the firm\u2019s applied engineering strength. Drawing on prior R&D experience within major industrial groups, she approaches patent drafting and opposition with an acute awareness of manufacturing constraints and downstream enforcement realities. Her work reflects what clients describe as \u201cpassionate and professional\u201d commitment, delivering high-quality advice while remaining responsive and practical. She plays a key role in aligning claim strategy with industrial scalability, particularly in packaging systems, energy technologies and other mechanically complex sectors. Completing the senior bench is Idoia Apraiz<\/strong>, whose practice sits at the intersection of advanced research and industrial deployment. Her work frequently involves calibrating claim scope to align with collaborative R&D environments, technology transfer frameworks and spin-off strategies, where precision in drafting directly influences future exploitation. Known for her analytical discipline and structural clarity, she approaches patent strategy as an exercise in long-term architecture rather than short-term filing, reinforcing the firm\u2019s ability to deliver protection that withstands scrutiny and supports institutional growth.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Previously Ismael Igartua was included once again in the \u201cGlobal Leaders\u201d<\/em> guide of this publication and Idoia Apraiz was listed once again in the \u201cIAM 300 The World\u00b4s Leading IP Strategists\u201d<\/em> and the \u201cIAM Strategy 300 Global Leaders\u201d <\/em>guides. <\/em><\/p>\n
