Miller Thomson’s national IP team ‘covers all areas, contentious and non-contentious, to a very high level’, according to some. A popular choice for IP portfolio management, the practice also handles licensing agreements, transactional support and litigation. In Vancouver, IP head Aiyaz Alibhai is recommended alongside Lisa Sim, who leads the patents and industrial designs group. In Toronto, trademark head Catherine Dennis Brooks is a key contact.
