Michele Ballagh’s Summary

WORKING FOR BUSINESSES LARGE AND SMALL, local and international, I practice as both a barrister and solicitor. I advise clients in all areas of intellectual property law, including trade-marks, domain names, copyright, patents, industrial designs, trade secrets and confidential information.

AS AN EXPERIENCED TRADE-MARK AGENT, I file trade-mark applications around the world on behalf of my clients and monitor their international portfolios. I am qualified to practice before both the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO) and the US States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

WHEN DISPUTES ARISE, I will also step into the courtroom to protect my clients' exclusive rights. I am an experienced litigator who has appeared before all levels of the Ontario Superior Court and the Federal Court of Canada.
