About Adapt IP Law
Adapt IP Law protects the inventions and ideas of innovative people and businesses, and its focus is on using intellectual property to build value in a client's company. Patents sit at the centre of the practice. The firm prepares patent applications and deals with the patent office to get them issued, and it gives legal opinions on whether an invention is patentable, whether a patent is valid and whether something infringes.
Peter Elyjiw, the firm's Principal & Founder, has more than twenty-five years of experience in intellectual property law. Before law school at the University of Toronto, Peter spent five years working as an engineer, and Peter also holds a master's in Computer Engineering from Syracuse University.
IAM Patent 1000 has listed Peter among the World's Leading Patent Professionals for 2019 to 2025. The firm commits to personal attention, a strong client experience and a fair price for its services.
The practice is run from 10 Four Seasons Place in Toronto, and its reach is global.
Practice areas
Patent drafting and prosecution
Adapt IP Law writes patent applications and works directly with the patent office to see them through to grant. That covers preparing, filing and prosecuting original Canadian applications and arranging matching protection in the U.S. and other countries.
Global patent strategy
For clients protecting an invention in several countries, the firm manages the prosecution of their patents around the world.
Patent opinions and IP strategy
Before a client commits to a filing, Adapt IP Law can give an opinion on whether the invention can be patented. It also advises on developing intellectual property as a strategic asset that adds value to a company.
Industrial designs
Where the value is in how a product looks, the firm takes Canadian industrial design applications from preparation and filing through prosecution, and it arranges corresponding protection in the U.S. and elsewhere.
Good to know
Accessible parkingHow Adapt IP Law works
Adapt IP Law started from the idea that high-quality legal work shouldn't be reserved for the very big firms. Its business model is designed to keep overhead down, and it deliberately sets aside older law firm habits to avoid high fees, slow responses and clients who rarely hear from a senior lawyer. Even its global patent planning is tailored to each client with an eye on cost.
