Patent and Trademark Support for Growing Canadian Companies

OWN Innovation advises clients on legal and business strategies for high-growth Canadian technology companies. OWN is experiencing a significant challenge in dealing with the rapidly changing IP position of a client in the financial technology sector. From May-August 2022, the intern will assist OWN Innovation in building and/or implementing an IP strategy for this growing client. In doing so, the intern will learn to assess, strategize, and implement a strategy to protect and commercialize this client’s foreign and domestic IP portfolio and position in the Canadian space. This will include patent landscape research, drafting and reviewing IP portions of contractual arrangements, and filing or prosecuting patents. The intern’s work on this file will help address the client’s rapid development and allow the client to become an anchor point for Canadian financial technology and inspire other Canadian companies to pursue innovation in the hope of achieving similar success.
