Our practice areas

At Innovate LLP, our firm is committed to helping you achieve the best legal protection for your idea, invention or brandname. We can advise on the best approach to protect your intellectual property, whether it be by patent, trade-mark, copyright or trade secret. We also offer advice on business strategy, including company formation, business structure and funding models.

 
 

Patents

Patents protect your innovation, invention or idea. We have vast experience successfully filing patents in Canada and internationally.

Trademarks

Do you have words, designs or sounds that distinguish your product? Then registering a trade-mark might be ideal for you.

copyright

Do you have an artistic, literary, dramatic or musical work that you want to protect? Then registering a copyright could be beneficial.

Business

Whether your company is just starting or well established, it is likely that you will need your business agreements reviewed.

Trade Secrets

A trade secret is information such as source code, algorithms, data, and know-how that has economic value by being confidential.

Notarization

Notaries help to verify the integrity of documents used in both commercial and legal transactions.
