Profile
Protecting Innovation on Vancouver Island
Thompson Cooper LLP is the premier Intellectual Property law firm on Vancouver Island. Based in Victoria, British Columbia, this specialized practice is dedicated exclusively to the protection and enforcement of intellectual assets. Located in the Quadra Centre on Quadra Street, the firm serves a diverse clientele ranging from solo inventors and startups to large corporations and foreign associates. Unlike general practice firms, Thompson Cooper LLP focuses entirely on Intellectual Property (IP), combining legal expertise with technical knowledge to secure Patents, Trademarks, and Industrial Designs.
Patent and Trademark Agents
Securing a patent is a complex technical and legal process. The firm’s registered Patent Agents are skilled in drafting claims that provide robust protection for new inventions, whether they are mechanical devices, software, or chemical processes. They guide clients through the examination process at the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO) and coordinate international filings. Similarly, their Trademark Agents help businesses build and protect their brands, conducting clearance searches and prosecuting trademark applications to prevent infringement and dilution of brand value.
IP Litigation and Strategy
Beyond registration, Thompson Cooper LLP provides strategic advice on the commercialization of IP assets. They assist with licensing agreements, IP audits, and due diligence for business transactions. When disputes arise, their lawyers are experienced in IP Litigation, representing clients in the Federal Court of Canada to enforce their rights against infringers or defend against validity challenges. They also advise on Copyright matters, helping creators protect their artistic and literary works in the digital age.
