Intellectual PropertyIntellectual PropertyAbout Nevena Cekic
Nevena Cekic is an associate in the Ottawa office of Gowling WLG, where the focus is litigation to enforce patents, trademarks and copyrights. Cekic does that work as part of the firm's Intellectual Property Litigation Group.
Science came first. After a master's in chemistry at Simon Fraser University, with several scientific papers published along the way, Cekic took a job as a chemistry and biochemistry research associate with a pharmaceutical company in British Columbia. The lab work there meant making small molecules aimed at enzymes involved in neurodegenerative disease, and tuning the in vitro assays used to screen candidate compounds.
Law school brought Cekic back to the University of Ottawa for a JD in English common law. Moot court was a highlight: a run to the semi-finals of the Harold G. Fox Intellectual Property Moot and to the quarterfinals of the Oxford International Intellectual Property Moot. Cekic was called to the Ontario bar in 2022 and works with clients in English and Serbian.
Earlier on, Cekic volunteered as a crisis line counsellor at the Ottawa Rape Crisis Centre, did recreation work at a nursing home and joined a hospital's Flying Squad.
