Miltons IP

About Miltons IP

Miltons IP is a Canadian intellectual property firm headquartered in Ottawa, with a second office in Markham serving clients in the Greater Toronto Area. The firm was founded in 2000, aiming to replace what felt like a slow, expensive, and inefficient way of doing IP work with something faster, cheaper, and just as thorough. The firm now handles Canadian and international patents, trademarks, copyrights, and industrial designs, working directly with Canadian inventors and brand owners as well as with foreign attorneys who need help filing and prosecuting rights in Canada.

Miltons IP has grown into one of the top 30 trademark filers in Canada, filing and prosecuting hundreds of marks a year, mostly for small and medium sized trademark owners. It operates on fixed, agreed in advance fees rather than open ended hourly billing. Beyond registration work, the firm advises on licensing and IP related mergers and acquisitions, and helps businesses tap government programs such as IRAP, ElevateIP, and IPON to fund IP training and filings. It also distributes Intellectual Property Law For Dummies, a guide with more than 60,000 copies in print, held by buyers including CIPO, NRC-IRAP, EDC, and PWGSC.
