Intellectual PropertyIntellectual PropertyAbout Douglas G.H. Fyfe
Douglas G.H. Fyfe protects brands. Doug is a partner and trademark agent in Gowling WLG's Ottawa office, with an intellectual property practice that leans most heavily on trademarks and copyright. Clients come in every size, from startups and small businesses up to multinationals and Fortune 500 companies.
Much of the work follows a mark through its life: clearing it, getting it registered, enforcing it, handling opposition and litigation matters, and licensing. Doug's files aren't limited to Canada, either, and international matters are part of the mix. Tech and automotive clients, brand protection, and IP litigation and strategy all sit within Doug's areas of focus.
A Queen's law graduate called to the Ontario bar in 1997, Doug works in both English and French. Doug is also involved in the wider trademark profession, serving as a contributing editor of the International Trademark Association's guide Trademark Cancellation: International Practice and Procedures. Best Lawyers has recognized Doug's intellectual property work in Ottawa since 2016.
