Intellectual Property

Navigating intellectual property can be intricate, and our goal is to demystify the complexity and help our commercial clients to protect their intangible yet valuable assets. We recognize the significant value attributed to intellectual property and the paramount necessity to protect it. We work diligently to defend these interests, enabling our commercial clients to operate with confidence and security.

As trademark agents, we not only file our clients’ applications but also challenge third-party applications. Our proficiency in drafting licensing agreements for software, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets and other proprietary knowledge instills confidence in our clients that their intellectual property rights are well protected.

Our expertise in the protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights extends to managing breaches of franchise agreements, challenging businesses with potentially confusing or similar names or designs, confronting the sale of a confusing or similar product, and dealing with copyright infringements. We have obtained and defended injunctions in both the Court of King's Bench of Alberta and in the Alberta Court of Appeal.

We recognize the vital role of intellectual property in catalyzing innovation and propelling growth, and we are committed to safeguarding our clients’ intellectual assets and uphold their rights.
