IP + Technology

Intellectual Property + Technology Lawyers

Intellectual property can be one of your organization’s most valuable assets. Whether you are developing new technology, building a brand, commercializing an innovation, or protecting confidential information, a practical intellectual property strategy can help protect that value and support your business objectives.

Field Law’s Intellectual Property + Technology lawyers help businesses, entrepreneurs, innovators and organizations protect, manage, commercialize and enforce their intellectual property rights in Canada and other jurisdictions.

We work with clients to develop cost-effective IP strategies aligned with their commercial goals, from securing intellectual property rights to negotiating technology agreements, licensing IP and resolving disputes.

Intellectual Property Protection + Strategy

Intellectual property extends well beyond patents. Depending on your business and the assets you have developed, protection may involve patents, trademarks, copyright, industrial designs, trade secrets, confidential information and other proprietary know-how.

Our lawyers can help identify what intellectual property your organization owns, determine how it can be protected and develop a strategy for managing those rights as your business grows.

We advise on intellectual property involving:

• Inventions, equipment, processes and product improvements
• Software, automation and computer-based systems
• Proprietary technology and technical know-how
• Confidential business information and trade secrets
• Product and industrial designs
• Brands, trademarks and trade dress
• Copyright-protected works and content
• Early-stage ideas, research and innovations

Commercialization, Licensing + Technology Agreements

Creating valuable intellectual property is only part of the equation. Businesses also need to determine how that IP will be used, shared, licensed, acquired or commercialized.

Our lawyers advise on agreements involving intellectual property and technology, including confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements, licence agreements, IP assignments, purchase and sale agreements and other arrangements involving the ownership, development and commercialization of intellectual property.

We help clients structure these agreements with both the legal protection of their IP and their broader commercial objectives in mind.

IP Disputes + Enforcement

When intellectual property rights are challenged or infringed, timely advice can be critical.

Field Law advises clients on intellectual property disputes, infringement, enforcement and litigation. We work with clients to assess their options, protect their rights and pursue practical resolutions that account for both the legal and commercial implications of a dispute.
