Intellectual PropertyIntellectual PropertyAbout Jeffrey Wong
Jeffrey Wong helps technology businesses protect what they invent, with clients that range in size from startups to multinational corporations. Registered as a patent agent in Canada and in the United States, Jeffrey is a partner in Gowling WLG's Waterloo Region office and sits on the firm's Intellectual Property, Patents and Tech teams.
Engineering came first: Jeffrey studied electrical engineering at Queen's University, in the computing option. Jeffrey has spent more than 15 years guiding tech clients through inventions in software and business methods as well as electrical and mechanical technology. Gowlings announced Jeffrey's arrival as a new partner in August 2014.
Jeffrey takes a very active part in IP and tech circles, both around Waterloo Region and across Canada. Jeffrey is currently vice-president of the Kitchener-Waterloo IPIC Informals Group, a local gathering of practitioners, in-house counsel, academics and anyone else in the region with an interest in intellectual property, and has also held the group's vice-chair and treasurer seats. Startup founders have had Jeffrey's help too: the Founder Institute's Waterloo program counted Jeffrey among the mentors for its fall 2019 cohort.
Away from patents, Jeffrey is an elder at The Meeting House and a counsellor with Sunnydale Connect, and also coaches in a local soccer league as well as playing in it.
