DLA Piper (Canada) LLP is pleased to see four of our lawyers recognized as IP STARS and our Intellectual Property and Technology (IPT) Group recognized as a leading firm in Managing Intellectual Property IP STARS' 2019 global rankings.

IP STARS Ron Dimock, Bruce Stratton, Geoff Mowatt and Alan Macek were once again highly recommended by their peers and clients while the firm’s Intellectual Property and Technology Group repeated their Tier 2 ranking in each of the Patent Contentious, Copyright, and Trademark Contentious categories, highlighting the group’s depth of expertise across key areas of intellectual property law.
