Andrew Masson

Articling Student

Andrew is an articling student at MBM’s Ottawa office.

Andrew obtained his JD from Osgoode Hall Law School in 2024. Upon graduation, he was awarded the IP Osgoode David Vaver Medal for Excellence in Intellectual Property Law for outstanding achievement in intellectual property law or policy.

While at Osgoode, Andrew completed the Intellectual Property Law & Technology Intensive Program, where he was placed with CIPO (Canadian Intellectual Property Office) in their policy division. Andrew also competed with Osgoode’s team in the USPTO Competitive Patent Drafting Moot, winning bronze in the regional rounds.

Andrew was a member of the Osgoode Hall Law Journal throughout his 3 years at law school, finishing his final year as the Director of Production. He also wrote for the IPilogue (Osgoode’s IP blog) and was a Fellow with the IP Innovation Clinic, a student-based clinic designed to provide assistance to under-resourced inventors and start-ups.

In 2022, prior to law school, Andrew completed his PhD in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from the University of Toronto. As part of his PhD thesis, Andrew examined how the proximate mechanisms that control animal behaviour at a mechanical level can explain the emergence of animal behaviours.

As a former professional lacrosse player, Andrew enjoys staying active and playing lacrosse whenever he can.
