About Conneely PC
Conneely PC is a small intellectual property firm in Toronto built around patent, trademark and industrial design work. It drafts, files and prosecutes applications for Canadian organizations and, through an associate network abroad, for international clients too. Beyond prosecution the firm also gives IP opinions, handles due diligence, manages portfolios and advises on asset transfers, work that supports a client's IP strategy rather than just the paperwork of getting a mark or patent granted.
The firm is a one lawyer practice run by founder Joe Conneely, who holds an LLB and an MBA from the University of Toronto plus a BEng in Electrical Engineering from McMaster University. Conneely is a lawyer, a registered patent agent, a registered trademark agent and a Professional Engineer, and worked as a professional electrical engineer for many years before becoming an intellectual property lawyer, gaining experience in a wide range of engineering, design and marketing disciplines. That mix shows up in the firm's client list: over 25 years advising companies in high tech, software, industrial and manufacturing, energy and power, and retail, apparel and fashion on protecting inventions, brands and designs.
