IP PROTECTION
OVERVIEW
Trademarks, copyright, and brand protection for people who built something worth protecting.
Canadian trademark searches, applications, and oppositions. Copyright for music, writing, and software. Brand protection strategy for creatives and founders scaling across channels.
MEET THE PRACTICE
Protect your name, work, and brand before someone else takes it.
Trademark registration
Canadian trademark searches, applications, and office-action responses. Lock down your name, logo, and product marks.
Copyright
Registration for music, written work, and software. Assignment and licensing so rights sit with the right owner.
Brand protection
Cease-and-desist, opposition proceedings, and enforcement when someone uses your name or work without authorization.
Licensing
Draft and negotiate licenses for your IP, whether you are licensing in or out, so the revenue and the rights are clear.
HOW WE WORK WITH YOU
Protection that holds up when it counts.
Free consultation and search
Start with a free 30-minute call and a preliminary search to see what is already out there. Flat fee quoted before we file.
Filed and followed through
We handle the application end to end: drafting, filing, office actions, and publication. Updates at every milestone.
Enforcement when needed
If someone infringes, we draft the cease-and-desist and manage the response so you can focus on your work.
OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES
Every engagement is guided by principles designed to make legal work feel less like legal work.
Plain-language
We break down the why behind every filing, search, and enforcement step. You know exactly what we are doing and why.
Industry-fluent
IP work that understands music rights, athlete likeness, and startup brand strategy. Not generic trademark paralegal work.
Proactive
File early, file right. Protect the name and work you are building before the market makes it worth copying.

CLIENT PHOTO
My brand had been copied and I had no idea what to do. Erika walked me through my options in plain language and a week later the other party backed off.
