Paximal is proud to share that co-founder and CEO Ian Schick, PhD, Esq, has been named to the IAM Strategy 300 Global Leaders 2026.

Published annually by IAM (Intellectual Asset Management), the Strategy 300 recognizes the world's leading intellectual property strategists—the individuals doing the most to develop, manage, and create value from IP. Inclusion is based on extensive independent research, peer review, and nominations from clients and colleagues across the global IP community.

Ian is a patent attorney and technologist whose career has centered on a single problem: how to produce high-quality patent applications at scale without sacrificing the rigor that prosecution demands. That focus is the foundation of Paximal's "Born Strong" approach ‚Äî an agentic, attorney-designed drafting platform that produces complete, fully-enabled applications built to withstand §§ 101, 102, 103, and 112 scrutiny from the filing date.

"When drafting becomes cheap, quality becomes the differentiator," said Ian Schick, CEO of Paximal. "This recognition reflects the work our whole team is doing to turn drafting speed into prosecution-grade quality and to give practitioners tools that make their expertise go further, not replace it."

The recognition comes amid growing adoption of agentic drafting by firms and in-house teams looking to expand capacity without expanding headcount. We're grateful to see that work counted among the field's leading IP strategies, and we're just getting started.
