Brenda Willman is Certified Canadian Trademark Administrator who is passionate about Intellectual Property + Technology and has worked with counsel supporting a wide range of industries and clients, in both patent and trademark work, primarily in Canada and the USA.  

She has worked with a large trademark portfolio as a member of the IP and Competition Law team for a major Oil & Gas firm in Calgary, which held over 500 trademarks in more than 45 countries. Brenda worked closely with their IT team to create an in-house trademarks database used to manage trademark assets in a timely and cost-effective manner.

This knowledge is helpful for clients looking for IP protection internationally.
