Patents and Industrial Designs are valuable assets of a business. You need to ensure that your Patents and Industrial Designs are available, protected, properly used, maintained and enforced, both in Canada and around the world, so that you are taking advantage of the most up to date protection, and so that your ability to compete is not threatened. We advise businesses on:
- Patentability opinions for new inventions, freedom to operate opinions, and Patent and Industrial Design Registration validity opinions
- Preparation and prosecution of Patent and Industrial Design applications in Canada and globally
- Patent and industrial design infringement lawsuits
- Licensing of Patents and Industrial Designs
- Due Diligence on Patents and Industrial Designs involved in business transactions
