A deep tradition of unparalleled IP

The legacy of the Fetherstonhaugh name in relation to intellectual property services dates back to 1890, when Frederick B. Fetherstonhaugh first opened the doors of his venerable patent agency firm in Toronto.

The rapid growth of Fetherstonhaugh & Co. built on a foundation of trust with a client roster of industrialists and innovators led to a reputation for IP leadership in Canada around the world. The firm later expanded its banner and services under the closely related law practice of Smart & Biggar, founded by Russel S. Smart and Oliver M. Biggar, and the firms operated in close union for over a century.

Today, the Fetherstonhaugh legacy continues through the IP solutions offered to clients through Canada’s leading full-service intellectual property firm, under the common banner and name Smart & Biggar.
