Trademarks
We provide advice that is custom-tailored for each client and their specific challenges. Our team works with clients to understand their businesses and to help them implement cost-effective trademark protection and enforcement strategies, in Canada and around the world. We help our clients understand the nuances of Canadian trademark law, including current precedent-setting case law and the impact of future legislative changes.
Our clients range from multinational Fortune 500 companies with global trademark portfolios to agile and resourceful start-ups launching their first product and brand. As a boutique firm, we have the flexibility to provide the best possible service to each individual client regardless of size or need.
Our advice is practical, commercial, and strategic, and based on decades of experience gained in the field. Our services include providing searches and registrability opinions; preparing, filing and prosecuting applications; managing worldwide portfolios; advocating in the Trademarks Opposition Board and in Court; drafting and negotiating licenses and providing transactional support such as due diligence reviews and trademark portfolio audits. We also provide advice and advocacy in domain name disputes, Internet issues, anti-counterfeiting matters and marketing and advertising issues.
