About Perinot Innovation Law
Perinot Innovation Law is a solo intellectual property and technology law practice based in downtown Toronto. The firm operates as Glenis Perinot Professional Corporation and is run by Glen Perinot, a lawyer and trademark agent who was called to the Ontario Bar in 2004 after earning an LLB the year before. Before turning to law, Perinot completed a B.Sc. in Biochemistry and an M.Sc. in Molecular Immunology, and that science background carries into the firm's work on patents and other technical disputes.
The practice covers trademark, copyright, patent, and technology law, along with business law and civil litigation and appeals. It advises start-ups and small businesses on intellectual property strategy, from acquisition and protection to exploitation and enforcement, and has represented clients before the Federal Court of Canada, the Federal Court of Appeal, the Ontario Courts, and the Canadian Trademarks Opposition Board. On the technology side, the work spans software and licensing agreements, e-commerce matters, domain name disputes, and privacy compliance under PIPEDA.

The neighbourhood
Perinot Innovation Law's office sits at 56 Temperance Street, a modern office building in Toronto's Financial District just south of City Hall and Nathan Phillips Square.
