It is from this shortlist that a jury appointed by the FT will choose the winner for the prize ‘Innovative Individual of the Year 2013'.

António Magalhães Cardoso's nomination is the utmost recognition of a long term innovative practice the lawyer has been conducting in the patent law area which is now acknowledged by the reputable FT jury.
