EIP and Stobbs join forces in ‘specialised’ partnership
EIP and Stobbs, have announced a new partnership to offer clients specialised patent and trademark protection services.
As part of the agreement, EIP will focus on providing high-value patent services and the UK-based asset management firm Stobbs will expand its trademark practice.
The collaborators’ website— Partnersh-ip.com—claims that the deal will see: “One firm focused on patents and the other on trademarks,” in order to meet the increasing need for specialisation of their customers.
Magnus Hallin (pictured), CEO at EIP, said: “This unique collaboration reflects the increasing need for specialism in the IP space, enabling each business to focus on what it’s best at, which will be beneficial to current and future clients.”
The agreement will also see EIP continue to offer US trademark advice but shift its European trademark services to Stobbs.
Julius Stobbs, founder and principal at Stobbs, added: “We’re cut from the same cloth, in both taking a highly-entrepreneurial approach to IP in a sector that can often be very traditional and slow-moving. Together we will both be more than the sum of our parts.”
EIP is composed of patent attorneys and litigators operating out of six offices in three key constituencies—the UK, Germany and the US.
Stobbs offers asset management services out of offices in Cambridge, London and Munich.
