Intellectual Property

Osler provides complete coverage of all IP disciplines in Canada, including the prosecution and litigation of patents and trademarks, copyright and commercial IP advice, including licensing and transactions. Few firms can lay claim to “ticking all the IP boxes” like Osler can: they have a stellar record in blockbuster patent litigation, have acted on ground-breaking cases on Canadian copyright law, have a leading anti-counterfeiting practice and manage the patent and trade mark portfolio requirements for a broad range of well-known brands and as their international law firm agent. Furthermore, Osler’s IP group is closely involved in major commercial transactions driven by Osler’s M&A department, which is consistently ranked in league tables as the leading M&A practice in Canada.

Osler’s Intellectual Property Department offers IP expertise and service across a breadth of specialty areas, with significant expertise in areas as diverse as biotechnology; aeronautics; chemistry; and mechanical, chemical and software engineering.
