Bhole IP Law is a Toronto intellectual property firm that files and prosecutes patents, trademarks, and industrial designs for clients in Canada and the United States. Managing partner Anil Bhole founded the firm after working at a smaller IP-focused firm and in the IP groups of national full service law firms, following an earlier career in embedded software development and a degree in computer engineering. Bhole is a lawyer, a Canadian patent agent, and a Canadian trademark agent, and is qualified by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to file and prosecute American applications.
The rest of the team brings its own focus areas. Marc Lampert leads the patent group after earlier work at a smaller IP-focused firm and in the Waterloo office of a national firm, and Alessia Monastero leads the trademark group and holds a certificate from the Fashion Law Institute at Fordham Law School in addition to a law degree from Osgoode Hall. The firm's work spans electronics, software (including machine learning, augmented reality, and cryptography), industrial design, mechanical engineering, and manufacturing files, and its members belong to FICPI and the Association of Intellectual Property Firms. For matters outside Canada and the U.S., the firm works with foreign counsel in Europe, Asia, and South America.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
Bhole IP Law's office is in the West Tower of Daniels Waterfront, a mixed office, retail, and residential complex at 130 Queens Quay East on Toronto's East Bayfront, overlooking Lake Ontario near Berczy Park, the Sculpture Gardens, and St. James Park, in a stretch of the waterfront built up over roughly the last decade rather than an older downtown legal block. It's a fitting setting for a firm whose clients are mostly technology companies, startups, and individual inventors rather than people walking in for a court matter.
