About Jodi E. English

Brand owners who need to protect a name, a logo or creative work can turn to Jodi English, a Toronto partner at Gowling WLG whose intellectual property practice centres on trademarks and copyright. English is also a trademark agent.

Clients range from smaller businesses to large enterprises, both Canadian and international, and they come from many different industries. For them, English handles clearance and filing, oppositions, and the longer game of managing a portfolio of marks, whether the job is a licence, an assignment, an audit or due diligence on a deal.

The writing side of the practice shows the same portfolio focus. English co-wrote the chapter on managing an IP portfolio in the fourth edition of the American Bar Association's Intellectual Property Deskbook for the Business Lawyer, and belongs to trademark and bar groups at home and abroad, including the International Trademark Association.
