Vancouver Intellectual Property Protection
In his first intellectual property case, founder and partner Robert Lesperance pursued litigation to enforce the trade-marks of the Expo 86 Corporation during the World Fair. He has appeared before the following:
- Supreme Count of British Columbia
- Court of Appeal of British Columbia
- Federal Court of Canada
- United Nation's World Intellectual Property Organization
Specific areas of our intellectual property practice include:
- Trade-mark registration — The process of registering for a trade-mark and protecting it from infringement is complex. We help clients with trade-mark and copyright licensing agreements and contracts covering confidentiality and nondisclosure.
- Copyright and industrial design registration — We help our clients to register and protect their interests in such items as new inventions, designs of products and packaging, and content of manuals and other written materials.
- IP litigation — Disputes involving infringements on patents, trade-marks and copyrights can result in a relevant registration being expunged from the registry.
