IPH, an Australia-based holding company, which provides intellectual property services, agreed to acquire ROBIC, a prominent Canadian intellectual property firm. Financial terms were not disclosed. “Joining the IPH group will bolster our international service offering while enabling us to invest in and grow our business locally. We look forward to continuing to support our clients here in Canada and around the world with all their intellectual property needs, now with the backing of the IPH group, and are equally excited about the career opportunities this announcement opens up for our people,'' Dario Pietrantonio ROBIC Executive Committee member.
