About Daniel Brinza Law Professional Corporation

Daniel Brinza Law Professional Corporation is a solo intellectual property and business law practice based in Oakville, Ontario, run by Daniel L. Brinza. Brinza holds a Juris Doctor from the University of Toronto Law School, a Master of Applied Sciences from the University of Ottawa, and an undergraduate degree in chemical engineering. Before law school, Brinza spent several years as a process development engineer for a large Canadian pharmaceutical company, then later worked on Bay Street in Toronto for several years as a lawyer and trademark agent for one of Canada's largest national firms before opening this Oakville practice.

The firm covers patents, trademarks, copyright, domain name disputes, licensing, and commercial contracts, with matters brought before the Trademarks Opposition Board and the Federal Court of Canada. The engineering and pharmaceutical background feeds a practice geared toward entrepreneurs, inventors, and technical founders who need patents and other IP assets protected and commercialized. For filings abroad, the firm works through a network of foreign associates in the United States, Europe, and Japan, and it also takes on Canadian IP work referred by law firms based outside the country. Most client meetings happen by phone, email, and video conference, though the firm will travel to client sites elsewhere in the Greater Toronto Area.

The neighbourhood

The office is a single suite, Unit 11, at 1155 North Service Road West in Oakville, not a downtown storefront. That fits how the practice is built: it serves entrepreneurs and inventors rather than walk-in clients, and most matters are handled by phone, email, and video call. The firm's local roots show up less in the address and more in who it connects with. Its memberships run through Halton's small business and innovation network, including HalTech, Silicon Halton, and the Golden Horseshoe Manufacturing Network, putting an IP and patent practice directly among the entrepreneurs, tech companies, and manufacturers most likely to need one.

Frequently asked questions

What areas of intellectual property and business law does Daniel Brinza Law handle?
The firm covers patents, trademarks, copyright, industrial designs, domain names, licensing agreements, advertising law, and business and corporate law, including litigation and enforcement before bodies like the Trademarks Opposition Board and the Federal Court of Canada.
I'm an early-stage founder. Why would I need an IP lawyer already?
The firm's own guidance is that entrepreneurs and early-stage companies benefit from having an IP lawyer involved early, since a knowledge-based business's value often sits in intellectual property that needs a protection strategy in place before it can support future growth.
My company is registered in another province. Can you still register a trademark for it?
Yes. Trademarks are federally regulated in Canada rather than provincially, so the firm can handle a trademark application for a business registered anywhere in the country.
Does the firm handle intellectual property matters outside Canada?
The firm works with a network of foreign associates to file patents, trademarks, industrial designs, and copyrights abroad, including in the United States, Europe, and Japan, and it also takes on Canadian IP work referred by law firms based outside Canada.
Do you offer a free consultation before I commit to anything?
Yes. The firm offers a free 30 minute phone consultation, arranged after a prospective client submits a description of their IP needs through the website's contact form.
How does the firm bill for its work?
For most routine matters, such as trademark registrations, patent applications, and incorporations, the firm bills on a flat fee basis rather than by the hour, and provides a written quote before the client engages the firm.
