After a management shake-up at its IT consultancy arm, Bird & Bird has shelved its intellectual property and trademarks spin-off, just two years after launch and after almost 50% the partnership put capital into the business.
Aves Brands, a consultancy set up by the IP and technology focused firm in 2013, was re-acquired by Bird & Bird over the summer from Aves Enterprises. The firm applied for a change of name in July, rebranding the spin-off as Bird & Bird IP Services.
