Letter to our clients and friends

Innovation plays a crucial role in the survival and success of companies in today’s fast-paced and competitive business environment. Protecting that innovation, dealing with the regulatory and compliance challenges that come with it, and pushing forward with new market-changing advances are all part of today’s reality.

Our clients tell us that the need has never been greater for forward-looking intellectual property strategy and advice combined with complex business and commercial litigation abilities.

In response, we are thrilled to jointly announce that Integrated IP and Clark IP have merged, effective November 1, 2024. The firm is now operating as Integrated IP.

Together, our combined firm offers clients:

  • Award-winning intellectual property strategy and protection advice—with offices located nationwide across Australia and New Zealand.
  • Top-tier litigators with unsurpassed knowledge of the issues and a track record of taking the toughest cases to trial and winning.
  • Holistic solutions to help companies navigate intellectual property, technology transactions, and litigation issues in today’s economy.
  • Leading team of IP Advisory, licensing, monetisation and commercialisation advice.
Matthew Yeates, Principal and Managing Director at IIP, commented:

“We’re over the moon to team up with David Clark and the Clark IP team. This merger really boosts our commitment to providing impactful IP solutions across Australia and New Zealand and helps us grow even faster. IIP is all set to keep up with our clients’ changing IP needs and attract top talent along the way. This strategic move solidifies our position as a full-service IP attorney, litigation, and advisory firm, offering more resources, expertise, and comprehensive solutions across various sectors.”

David Clark, Director of Clark IP and now Principal and Director at IIP, added:

“I’ve known Integrated IP for 30 years since we worked together at a major IP firm. Joining forces with IIP just felt right because our values and vision align perfectly. I’m super excited to combine our strengths and lead IIP’s expansion in Sydney. Together, we’re ready to deliver top-notch IP services.”

On behalf of both firms’ partners, associates, and staff members, we thank you for your ongoing support and trust in us. We remain focused on delivering the highest quality legal advice, and our clients continue to be our top priority. We are excited to connect with you about the ways we can help you advance your corporate and legal strategies. If you have questions, please reach out to your relationship partner.
