Glasgow based
Murgitroyd, the pan-European intellectual property protection
(IP) business has acquired another Glasgow based IP specialist
firm, Creation IP. The move is the latest step in Murgitroyd's
growth and expansion strategy and is the company's third
acquisition inside eight months.
Creation IP's innovative clients are complementary
to Murgitroyd's client base, with Murgitroyd's broader scope of IP
services and deeper attorney capacity and capability creating
significant post-deal growth potential. Meanwhile, Creation IP's
specialism in attracting start-up, spin-out and scale-up businesses
will ensure the combined business stays connected with new,
emerging high growth companies.
Creation IP's founders, Bryn Williams (pictured

who started the business in 2012. Creation IP's 12 team members are
transferring to Murgitroyd 's head office in central Glasgow,
increasing headcount to more than 450.
Gordon Stark, CEO, Murgitroyd (pictured centre),
said: "At Murgitroyd, our goal is to help our clients protect
and deliver value from their innovation and Creation IP is a great
fit for Murgitroyd, bringing a talented team and innovative clients
to the business. This marks another important step in Murgitroyd's
strategy to build the IP firm of choice for the world's most
innovative businesses."
