Adam practices in all areas of intellectual property law with a special focus on providing IP services to Canadian small and medium-sized enterprises (“SMEs”) and startup clients.

His clients range from individual inventors to large Canadian corporations, and he also has extensive experience managing international IP portfolios for foreign and Canadian entities.

On the trademark side, Adam has devised branding strategies for clients in numerous industries and assists with all aspects of the trademark process from initial brand selection and clearance to rights acquisition and enforcement matters when required.

On the patent side, Adam has drafted and prosecuted hundreds of patents in a wide variety of technologies in jurisdictions around the world. Adam also assists his clients with various contractual and licensing issues that arise in the course of running an innovative business, and has both assisted and advised a number of clients during their acquisition by leading foreign multinationals.
