Daily Journal Names Troutman Pepper Partner Ben Wagner Among 2024’s Top IP Lawyers

SAN DIEGO, Calif. – For the second consecutive year, Ben Wagner, a partner in Troutman Pepper’s Intellectual Property Practice Group, has been recognized as a Top Intellectual Property Lawyer by the Daily Journal. The recognition honors leading California IP lawyers focused on litigation, transactions, and counseling.

A seasoned, go-to IP and complex commercial litigator, Wagner has handled hundreds of disputes for clients ranging from startups to established multinationals in a diverse range of industries, including apparel, consumer goods, online retail, life sciences, medical devices, real estate development, and professional sports. A devoted advocate for plaintiffs and defendants, over the past decade, he has recovered more than $85 million for plaintiffs and IP rights holders and successfully defended against more than $150 million in claims, and currently manages IP portfolios with total claim values estimated in the billions of dollars. His tailored approach to litigation values finding and targeting the right stones, rather than insisting on turning over every stone.

Wagner has been recognized for his IP work by several industry authorities. For the past two years, he has been recognized among WTR1000’s list of worldwide leading IP practitioners in trademark enforcement and litigation. He also has been recognized by Best Lawyers in America® (Litigation – Intellectual Property, 2023-2024), Managing Intellectual Property (IP Star, 2022), and the San Diego Business Journal (Leaders in Law – IP, 2021), among other publications.

In determining its 2024 Top Intellectual Property Lawyers, Daily Journal editors reviewed hundreds of nominations submitted by lawyers statewide, with honorees selected based on the impact of their work in intellectual property.
