Smart & Biggar, Canada’s largest intellectual property law boutique, is set to expand its operations through a merger with Ridout & Maybee, another reputable Canadian IP firm. Both firms come with a rich history that extends back to the 1890s. The merger will unfold under the well-established Smart & Biggar brand, which since a year ago, has been part of IPH Ltd, an Australian publicly traded patent and trademark group. The completion of this merger is anticipated to happen by September 29.
This merger strengthens Smart & Biggar’s position in the market, making it an increasingly formidable figure in Canada’s IP law landscape. For more details on this merger, refer to the original article.
