Mr. Khatri was ranked in the following sectors: Banking/financial services, Electronics, Engineering/construction, Legal, Medical devices, Semiconductors, Software, and Telecommunications. In recent years, he has represented NXP Semiconductors, SK Innovation, and others in global patent disputes related to semiconductor circuitry, Wi-Fi, and lithium battery technologies.

Mr. Kukkonen was ranked in Aerospace/automotive, Banking/financial services, Defence, Electronics, Energy/fuel, Engineering/construction, Legal, Media, Medical devices, Pharmaceuticals/life sciences, Semiconductors, Software, and Telecommunications.

According to the publication no individual can qualify for a listing in the IAM Strategy 300 unless they are nominated by at least three people from outside of their own organization.
