In a recent article published in Lexpert’s exclusive feature on litigation, Brigitte Chan and Audrey Berteau provide insight into the landscape of intellectual property disputes and the value of protecting all intellectual property rights, including intangible assets. “Business leaders need to proactively manage their intangible assets including by vigilantly protecting and strategically enforcing the rights in their intellectual property portfolio”, says Brigitte Chan, Principal at Smart & Biggar.
Brigitte Chan and Audrey Berteau also discuss trends and new developments in the intellectual property litigation space, as well as the advantage of Smart & Biggar’s litigation expertise, technical knowledge, and approach in elevating an IP strategy. Though the firm's extensive track record of successfully litigated cases is notable, Berteau notes “it’s our insight and focus into each client’s business objectives and holistic intellectual property strategy that makes us an invaluable partner to our clients.” Chan adds that “our greatest value-add for clients is our commitment to providing strategic guidance at every step of our clients’ intellectual property journey, supporting companies in building and protecting their intellectual property assets and when necessary, navigating contentious proceedings and litigation to enforce those rights.”
