Purchase of AJ Park by Australian Company IPH Limited

On 11 October 2017, IPH Limited, a listed company on the Australian stock exchange, announced its purchase of New Zealand Intellectual Property firm AJ Park. IPH is now the holding company for Spruson & Ferguson, Fisher Adams Kelly Callinans, Pizzeys, Cullens, Ella Cheong Intellectual Property Agency (Beijing) and AJ Park.

We discussed the emergence of these ‘mega-firms’, including some concerns in our article here. We wish to reassure our clients and colleagues that Henry Hughes IP remains wholly independent and owner operated.

As always if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
