We speak fluent engineer
Before practicing IP law, our principal modeled satellite radar antennas, wrote defence R&D software and published research in nonlinear dynamics. When we say we understand your technology, we mean it literally.
Where we draft and prosecute
Patent drafting experience drawn from two decades of prosecution across Canada, the United States and international offices including the EPO, JPO, UKIPO, CNIPA, KIPO and the GCC Patent Office.
Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning
From neural-network research roots — a published master’s thesis on neuron-system dynamics — to drafting and prosecuting modern AI and intelligence-amplification patents.
Software & Digital Systems
Software-implemented inventions, business methods, digital systems, microprocessors and microcontrollers — with hands-on development experience in C++, Python, Java and Fortran.
Telecommunications
Years of in-house and private-practice work for telecom innovators, covering networks, protocols, signal processing and connected devices.
Radar, Remote Sensing & Satellites
Direct research experience: antenna-pattern synthesis for Canada’s RADARSAT-2 satellite, SAR image calibration, and defence radar data exploitation.
Photonics & Optics
Digital optical systems, nonlinear optical cavities (honours thesis subject), lasers and photonic devices.
Electronics & Semiconductors
Circuits, semiconductor devices, and electronic hardware from consumer products to defence-grade systems.
Medical Devices
Patent drafting and prosecution for diagnostic, therapeutic and monitoring devices, plus litigation support in pharmaceutical patent actions — grounded in hands-on biomedical engineering experience from graduate research and industry work.
Mechanical Devices
Two decades of drafting mechanical patent applications, from consumer mechanisms to industrial and mining equipment.
Cryptography & Fintech
Cryptographic methods, secure systems and financial technologies at the intersection of mathematics and software.
Mining Technology
Mining equipment and process innovations, backed by prosecution experience for resource-sector clients.
Alternative & Clean Energy
Energy generation, storage and efficiency technologies for a decarbonizing economy.
Physics & Applied Mathematics
First-class combined honours in mathematics and physics and an M.Sc. in mathematics — the analytic foundation beneath every technical field we serve.

Telecommunications
Carriers, equipment makers and connected-device innovators.
Medical & Life Sciences
Device manufacturers, health-tech start-ups and research institutions.
Chemical & Pharmaceutical
Drug makers, chemical manufacturers and formulation developers — backed by PhD-level chemistry expertise with over two decades in patent practice.
Energy & Cleantech
Alternative energy developers and efficiency-technology companies.
Mining & Resources
Equipment, processing and monitoring technology for the resource sector.
Financial Technology
Payments, blockchain-adjacent systems and secure transaction technologies.
Consumer Products
Brand-first businesses where trademarks and designs carry the value.
Start-ups, Universities & R&D
Ideation sessions, IP policies, due diligence and portfolio building for institutions that live on innovation.
Trademark capabilities on a global scale
Global Filing Strategy
National filings, Madrid Protocol, and regional systems; market sequencing matched to your expansion plan and manufacturing footprint.
Clearance & Naming Support
Availability searches and registrability advice before launch, so marketing money lands on a name you can own.
Oppositions & Cancellations
Asserting and defending marks before trademark offices in Canada and abroad, backed by years of contentious practice.
Anti-Counterfeiting & Enforcement
Investigation networks, customs measures and seizure actions — built on first-hand experience running enforcement programs across international markets.
Watch, Renewals & Recordals
Systematic monitoring of conflicting filings, renewal management, and clean chains of title across every register.
Licensing & Franchising
Drafting and negotiating trademark licenses, franchise IP terms and coexistence agreements that grow the brand without diluting it.
Working in a field we haven’t listed?
The list above reflects experience, not limits. If your technology is novel, chances are we can protect it — and if we can’t, we’ll tell you honestly and point you to someone who can.
