“Marks & Clerk, an IP boutique with offices in Ottawa and Toronto, brings significant expertise to matters involving life sciences patent prosecution and litigation. Patent agent and prosecution specialist James Baker leads the practice from the Ottawa office. The team advises domestic and international clients on patent litigation and regulatory matters related to the pharmaceutical industry. The team, which is comprised of lawyers and patent agents with backgrounds in biochemistry and chemistry, handles matters across Canada and often collaborates with its UK and Asia locations on cross-border issues. Patent enforcement is another key focus of the firm.”
