On September 2, 2014, global technology leader Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. announced its acquisition of PrinterOn®, a pioneer in mobile cloud printing solutions based in Ontario and the world's leading enterprise-grade mobile printing platform.

The acquisition is expected to reinforce Samsung's expansive mobile ecosystem, particularly for the company's B2B customers, as well as further Samsung's leadership in the standardization of mobile printing as a founding member of the Mopria Alliance. PrinterOn will operate as an independent, wholly-owned subsidiary of Samsung Electronics Canada (SECA).

Gowlings advised PrinterOn in this transaction with a team led by David Petras and that included Sean Gomes, Mike Misener and Daniel Wright (corporate); Bettina Burgess (employment); Grant Tisdall (IP); and Gloria Geddes (tax).
