Who handles what
The neighbourhood
The firm's office is on King Street East in Corktown, a stretch of downtown Toronto bounded by Shuter Street, the Gardiner Expressway, Parliament Street, and the Don River. Corktown began as an Irish immigrant enclave in the early 1800s, built up around local breweries and brickyards, and many of its old industrial buildings have since been repurposed as studios and shops. It's a fitting setting for a firm founded by two former scientists who now help other people patent and protect their own ideas.
