Brandsmiths has acquired the UK business of Sipara, the specialist IP practice founded by Rebecca Kaye and Robert Furneaux. Sipara brings deep experience in trade mark portfolio management, protection, strategic IP advice and enforcement, built over more than a decade. The team will continue operating under its established name for the immediate future, now supported by Brandsmiths’ wider specialist capability.
“Sipara has long been a respected name in UK intellectual property. Bringing their team into Brandsmiths strengthens the depth and scale of our practice as we become one of the top ten firms for UK trade mark filings. The combined portfolios include significant international work, which means we will work closely with our foreign partners. We deeply value these relationships and expect to work together more as the practice continues to grow.”
