Wolters Kluwer Corporate Legal Services Expands Global Presence with Acquisition of Avantiq
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Acquisition Combines Top-Ranked Companies to Create Premier, Global Trademark
Partner for Legal Professionals
NEW YORK - June 5, 2013 - Wolters Kluwer Corporate Legal Services (CLS), the
leading provider of legal information services and solutions, today announced it
has acquired Avantiq, a provider of multi-national trademark research services.
This acquisition bolsters CLS's global portfolio of trademark and brand
clearance and protection solutions under the Corsearch brand. Avantiq, founded
in 1986, has 28 employees and has operations in Luxembourg and Australia.
The acquisition expands Corsearch's products and services for trademark and
brand professionals - and also extends its European expertise and presence. It
combines two top-ranked trademark and brand management companies to offer legal
professionals the premier partner for global services. In the 2011 World
Trademark Review's annual Global Trademark Survey, trademark professionals
worldwide ranked Avantiq #1 in searching while ranking Corsearch #1 in watching
and #2 in searching.
"We are excited to welcome Avantiq to Wolters Kluwer CLS. Together, we will
provide broader solutions to our global client base, offering another layer of
capabilities to help organizations protect their brands," said Josh Braunstein,
General Manager, Corsearch. "We can now offer our customers improved service,
combined and expanded global databases, and a broader suite of solutions to meet
local, regional and worldwide branding needs."
Avantiq is widely recognized for offering high-touch, premium service and
seamless global clearance capabilities. It is a trusted partner to many of the
world's top brands, leveraging in-house expertise and its global network of
trademark professionals to offer insights and solutions wherever a brand may be
used.
"We have a long-standing relationship with Corsearch. As our partnership
developed, it became clear that we could better serve our customer base
together," said Larissa Best, Managing Director, Avantiq. "As part of Wolters
Kluwer CLS, we will increase our global scale and be able to leverage broader
resources and expertise - while also enabling our customers to benefit from
industry-leading global watch and screening services."
Avantiq complements the trademark and brand attorneys' work by offering the
ability to not only perform searches, but to also provide insights in regions
around the world where the firms may not have a local presence or intricate
knowledge of the local issues, language or culture.
