Norton Rose Fulbright’s full-service IP practice is well weighted between litigation and portfolio management. In the latter sphere, the team is recognized for its strong record in filing international patent applications, where it is particularly active on behalf of life sciences clients. Toronto-based Jung-Kay Chiu heads the group and specializes in advising biotech and medical devices companies on IP strategy and protection. Other key contacts in Toronto include Daniel Daniele, who is noted for pharmaceutical patent litigation; David Ng, who handles IP prosecution and protection, with a focus on patents; Kristin Wall, whose practice spans patent, trademark, industrial design and copyright matters; and next-generation patent specialist Brian Chau. In Calgary, Elizabeth Williams is highly regarded for global portfolio management; she is advising Canadian Tire on IP strategy and enforcement issues. In Vancouver, IP litigator Christopher Wilson is a key contact, while patent litigator Brian Daley is recommended in Montreal. Anthony De Fazekas recently left the firm.
