Strategic patent guidance for engineering and technology innovators

With a mechanical engineering background and experience in the aerospace industry, Ben brings valuable technical insight to patent practice. He is dedicated to helping innovators protect and grow their intellectual property through strategic patent prosecution.

Ben’s practice focuses on drafting and prosecuting patent applications, responding to examiner objections and developing IP strategies. He understands the importance of a business-focused approach to IP and is committed to understanding each client’s needs, offering clear guidance through complex protection options aligned with their long-term goals. He regularly supports early-stage engineering companies, small and medium-sized Canadian businesses, university researchers, and individual inventors across Ontario and Nova Scotia and Saskatchewan.

This unique combination of technical and legal expertise enables him to provide clear, practical guidance that demystifies patent law and helps innovators confidently protect their inventions. He holds a mechanical engineering degree from Queen’s University and remains committed to continuous learning in both emerging technologies and intellectual property law.
