Its agents are registered to practice before the Canadian Intellectual Property Office and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and the firm's work covers patent drafting and prosecution, trademark registration and portfolio management, copyright protection, industrial design registration, and IP litigation and dispute resolution for clients across Canada and internationally. Its site describes a client base that ranges from individual inventors and artists to large multinational corporations, across industries such as technology, chemistry, life sciences, manufacturing, and entertainment.

The firm's founder, Robert A.H.
