Documented outcomes under the Canadian Trademarks Act and Patent Act. Each benefit corresponds to a specific compliance or portfolio objective.
All registered and unregistered marks are catalogued with current use status. Renewal deadlines are verified against the Registrar’s records, reducing the risk of inadvertent lapse.
Patent families are mapped by technology domain, jurisdiction, and filing stage. Expired or abandoned assets are flagged so maintenance fees are allocated only to active protections.
Internal filing and opposition procedures are reviewed against the latest amendments to the Trademarks Act and Patent Act. Non‑conforming practices are identified and corrected before they trigger procedural objections.
Each asset is scored by commercial relevance and legal exposure. The resulting priority list guides where to invest in new filings, oppositions, or licence negotiations.
Findings are compiled in a structured report that can be presented to internal counsel, external auditors, or the Canadian Intellectual Property Office without re‑work.

Our approach is grounded in statutory precision and portfolio rigor, not general counsel.
All procedures reference the current text of the Trademarks Act (R.S.C., 1985, c. T-13) and Patent Act (R.S.C., 1985, c. P-4). No generic frameworks.
We document registered marks, unregistered common law rights, renewal calendars, and lapsed filings. Patent mapping includes family trees, jurisdiction status, and maintenance fee schedules.
Each engagement produces a structured compliance memorandum suitable for board review, litigation support, or internal IP governance. No soft recommendations.
We do not offer multi-jurisdictional general advice. Our work is confined to Canadian IP law, with direct reference to CIPO practice notices and Federal Court decisions.
