The protection of intellectual property inevitably involves disputes over rights to that property. Bereskin & Parr, a leader in intellectual property law, has extensive experience in litigation and in the management and effective resolution of such disputes. The firm’s litigation group advises and acts in all types of intellectual property cases, from simple disputes that may only require pragmatic negotiation to major cases. It acts for parties, large and small, from individual inventors and start-ups to international companies. Over one-half of the firm’s practice involves dealing with matters relating to intellectual property infringement.
Bereskin & Parr’s litigation group provides a comprehensive range of services in litigation matters. Our litigation lawyers have a wide variety of technical backgrounds in science, engineering, biotechnology and computer related fields, and are able to efficiently present complex technical cases. Several members have taken extensive training in mediation and arbitration. Members of the group have extensive experience before the Supreme Court of Canada, and federal and provincial courts and tribunals. Our professionals have handled domain name disputes in the courts and using ICANN’s dispute resolution policy.
Our litigation group is committed to selecting and implementing the best approach possible. It is our policy to explore all available dispute resolution options in every case, so as to provide practical business solutions and encourage settlement whenever possible.
Our approach is to be practical, efficient and cost-effective. We emphasize file management and organization from the outset of the case with regular reviews of status and strategy with our client, and regular reporting. We build a litigation team for each case bringing together lawyers with both educational backgrounds and experience to suit the facts.
