Tony Edwards practices exclusively in intellectual property law. A registered Canadian and U.S. patent and trade-mark agent, and intellectual property lawyer with more than 17 years experience, he has guided many clients systematically and successfully through the protection process from idea to registration, to enforcement of the appropriate protection, whether patent, trademark, copyright, industrial design or trade secret.

Prior to pursuing his legal training, he obtained a degree in Aeronautic and Astronautic Engineering at the University of Washington, and thereafter served for more than four years in the Canadian Air Force, developing and testing experimental aircraft systems. Mr. Edwards science and engineering background gives him a technical and practical appreciation of the patent needs of his clients, whether it's related to mechanical or fluid applications, robotics or software products.

Mr. Edwards has provided intellectual property assistance to a diverse portfolio of clients including protecting robotics in sawmills and ballistic body armour, protecting clients from the pirating of video signals for pay-per-view wrestling, and protecting industrial designs and artwork and, for example, art galleries' rights in acquisition of artwork, to name just a few.
