Virtual appointmentsVirtual appointmentsAbout Bergsteins
Bergsteins is a small Toronto firm run by a single lawyer, Corey Bergstein, from an office at 393 University Avenue in the city's downtown core. Bergstein was called to the Bar of Ontario in 2000 and holds registrations as a Trade-mark Agent (2000) and a Patent Agent (2003). Those credentials sit on top of a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Applied Physics from the University of Waterloo (1993) and an LL.B. from Osgoode Hall Law School (1998), a science background that feeds directly into an intellectual property practice covering patents, trademarks, copyright, and industrial design, alongside business and corporate work and civil litigation.
The litigation side of the practice has taken the firm before Ontario courts at every level, including the Court of Appeal, as well as the Federal Court and Federal Court of Appeal, and before quasi-judicial bodies such as the Trade-marks Opposition Board and the Patent Appeals Board. For protecting IP rights outside Canada, the firm works through a network of associates in the US, Europe, and beyond. On the business side, clients range from sole proprietorships and startups to established international and publicly traded companies, and the firm says it keeps fees down by using clerks and agents and offering flat and variable rate arrangements instead of large-firm billing.
