Lawyer Monthly Legal Awards 2023 CANADA 61 ABOUT PATENT AXIS, INC T: +1-416-556-2999 | E: mail@patentaxis.com | www.patentaxis.com INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW FIRM OF THE YEAR While idiomatic expressions tell us to consider both sides of a story, decision points in the patent process are rarely limited to dual choices. Rather than black and white options, multi-faceted choices are the norm. PatentAxis Inc. navigates such selections with proficiency in order to positively impact the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the patenting process. PatentAxis Inc. is a Canadian patent services firm located in the financial district of Toronto, Canada. The firm is experienced in all types of patent preparation and analysis providing services of patent filing, prosecution and consultations to its clients. Understanding client objectives and providing pragmatic guidance in view of these objectives is a hallmark of the firm’s business approach. Strong client communication skills underlie this approach. Whenever feasible, multi-faceted choices inherent in patent prosecution are distilled within the context of client objectives to represent available choices in a practical format of risks and opportunities to allow clients to select choices best suited to their objectives. Guidance and consultations provided to clients is based on a nimble client service model that assesses and adapts to each client’s goals and needs. Accessibility and prompt and clear responses to clients wishing to discuss strategy or query a patent practice is a cornerstone of PatentAxis Inc.’s service model. Client initiated discussion and questions are encouraged by a policy of not charging for brief telephone calls. Every attempt is made to have calls directed to and answered by a relevant patent professional during business hours. Open communication channels provide clients with opportunities to make informed decisions when considering multiple parallel options that can arise during filing and prosecution and ultimately obtain patents that are better correlated with client goals. Strong client relations are a natural progression from an inspirational respect that PatentAxis Inc. holds for its clients and their business activity.

The firm has been fortunate to have a client roster filled with dynamic innovators and conscientious businesses. As a result of the quality of clients opportunities have always eclipsed challenges throughout the firm’s history.
