Practice/Organization Description
Smart & Biggar is widely recognized as Canada’s leading firm for intellectual property, and with over 180 lawyers, patent agents and trademark agents in six offices, we are also the largest firm focused purely on IP and related specialty areas. We have a history and tradition of providing the highest quality of IP advisory services and have filed more patent and trademark applications than any firm in Canada.
Since 1890, we have helped our clients find value in their intellectual property rights. We remain devoted to protecting our clients' intellectual property and technology assets and advising clients on how to uncover and maximize available opportunities.
At Smart & Biggar, we have the honour of working with many of Canada’s and the world’s most important innovators and brand owners. We continuously invest in our client relationships, and many of our clients have entrusted us with protecting, enforcing and commercializing their IP rights for over a half-century.
We are proud to have supported our clients on the road to market leadership — from start-up companies in emerging growth sectors to multinational corporations, as well as innovators at universities and other research institutions – advising them on their most critical and complex IP matters. Our decades of experience in intellectual property, combined with our deep knowledge and expertise across a wide range of technologies and industries, allow us to provide clients with clarity on opportunities and solutions to leverage and maximize IP.
