Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘It is the top patent litigation group in Canada due to its vast experience and depth of the group. There is likely no other IP litigation group in Canada that has appeared in as many patent hearings, trials and appeals than the Goodmans IP group. They are smart, creative and effective. ’

  • ‘Many consider Harry Radomski to have been the top patent litigator of the past three decades. He is still practising. Andrew Brodkin has, in the past 5-10 years taken over as the top patent litigator in Canada. He knows patent law inside-out. Jordan Scopa is the heir-apparent. He is very smart and effective. ’
