About Our Firm
Our Story
We are a full-service Canadian Intellectual Property (IP) law firm specializing in patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, industrial designs, and IP litigation.
We focus on building direct relationships with clients — enabling us to serve as strategic partners and trusted advisors for their complete intellectual property portfolios.
Our team offers comprehensive expertise in patents, trademarks, copyrights, industrial designs, trade secrets, and IP Litigation, serving clients across Canada and internationally. Year after year our reputation for providing the highest quality client service and delivering value-added solutions continues to strengthen. This has led to recognized industry rankings and a loyal client base.
While our firm operates as a full-service intellectual property practice, our core strength lies in guiding clients through the patent process. We specialize in helping companies achieve their patenting goals while structuring strategies that allow costs to scale in alignment with business growth.
We provide end-to-end patent services across Canada and offer direct filing and prosecution support in the UnitedStates for Canadian applicants. Additionally, we facilitate global patent protection by coordinating with patent agents in other jurisdictions. In recognition of his specialty expertise in patent law, he is designated by the Law Society of Ontario as a Certified Specialist (Intellectual Property Law: Patent).
Our Direct Client Focus
What truly sets us apart is our direct client focus — unlike many Canadian IP firms that primarily work through foreign associates, our firm builds long-term, strategic relationships directly with clients. This approach allows us to act as the quarterback of their intellectual property strategy, managing global portfolios with precision, foresight, and efficiency.

This approach allows us to act as the quarterback of their intellectual property strategy, managing global portfolios with precision, foresight, and efficiency. Working predominantly with direct clients has put us at the center of an ecosystem where we learn from our clients’ successes and failures and give better business and legal advice concerning them property as time goes on. We believe this is compounding the benefits we can provide for our competitors in providing direct client advice.
Technical Expertise and Global Reach
On the patent side, we prepare and file a great deal of applications relating to computer-related technologies, with emphasis in subspecialties such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, cryogenic computing, computer vision, and fintech.

In practice this means we are primarily working with direct Canadian clients although we also have direct client relationships with businesses in other jurisdictions. We provide comprehensive patent and trademark services in Canada as well as direct filing and prosecution services in the United States. We also help clients obtain patents and trademarks elsewhere around the world by acting as a liaison with patent and trademark agents in other jurisdictions. Our focus on direct client relationships typically makes us the quarterback of our client’s intellectual property strategy and overall manager of their global portfolio.
