All offices and affiliated of Lane IP, which is based in the UK, will rebrand as Abion in September 2024 to support Abion’s long-term ambition to build an international, tech-enabled IP specialist.

Magdalena Bonde, CEO of Abion, said: “Lane IP is a perfect match for us. This acquisition not only strengthens our position in the UK but also aligns with our strategy to further establish ourselves and build depth in our core markets.

“We share the same vision for our industry’s future and value the importance of offering a comprehensive suite of IP-related services, with an innovative customer management platform at the heart of our delivery.

“Lane IP’s strong customer offerings within legal services, brand protection, domain names, and web security make them a strong fit for Abion.”

Steve Lane, managing partner of Lane IP, added: “The IP landscape is evolving, and being part of Abion allows us to offer a broader suite of tech-enabled products and services. I see Abion as a leader in this transformation, and we are excited to contribute to this pioneering journey.”

He added: “Joining Abion is a natural progression for Lane IP. We share the same ethos and commitment to excellence. Together, we will be at the forefront of the industry, offering unparalleled IP management solutions.”
