Intellectual Property (IP)
Creators, users and suppliers of original work have an enormous amount invested in their products. Choosing the right protection from the different legal remedies available can demand extensive knowledge of different industries. Our intellectual property lawyers understand these requirements and can protect that investment, whether it’s a work of art, a new medical device, a company logo or a computer software program.

The members of our national Intellectual Property Group are trusted advisors of individual inventors, artists and entrepreneurs, public institutions, emerging companies, venture capital groups and large multinational corporations. To provide seamless service for our local and international clients, our intellectual property lawyers work closely with our colleagues in our Corporate Technology, Tax, Public Policy and Litigation Groups. With offices in Canada’s major centres, we can serve our clients’ legal needs across the country. In disputes, our team has represented clients before the Trade-marks Opposition Board, the Federal Court of Canada and in local and provincial courts. We understand the challenges and opportunities created by the Internet. Our experienced team of leading lawyers is involved in the intellectual property community, with committee members in national and international intellectual property organizations. Many of our lawyers frequently lecture, teach and publish on intellectual property subjects.
