Smart & Biggar LP is widely recognized as Canada’s largest firm dedicated purely to intellectual property and related specialty legal areas. Tracing its historical origins back to 1890 with the establishment of Fetherstonhaugh & Co., the firm has prepared and filed more patent and trademark applications than any other law practice in Canada. It operates offices in Ottawa, Toronto, Waterloo Region, Montréal, Vancouver, and Calgary, and functions as an autonomous member of the publicly traded IPH Limited group.

The practice unites more than 180 registered patent agents, trademark agents, and lawyers, many holding advanced credentials in engineering, physical sciences, chemistry, and life sciences. Smart & Biggar assists domestic startups, universities, research institutions, and multinational market leaders across the complete lifecycle of IP generation, prosecution, litigation, and portfolio commercialization.
