Overview

For global corporations, an intellectual property law firm plays a vital role in supporting their operations across multiple jurisdictions and industries by providing comprehensive IP protection, management, and strategic guidance services. At MBM, we understand the complexities of securing patents, trademarks, industrial designs, copyrights, and trade secrets, and the need to properly safeguard your innovations, brands, designs, and proprietary information worldwide. Our team is highly skilled in a variety of industries, enabling them to craft strategies that effectively protect and leverage intellectual property assets in highly specialized fields.

We work with many corporations, helping them navigate international IP laws and regulations and ensuring their products and technologies are protected in different markets. Without comprehensive IP protection tailored to each jurisdiction, corporations risk losing control over their valuable IP assets, facing counterfeiting, and suffering brand dilution, which can lead to significant financial losses and damage to their reputation. MBM can offer a single point of contact for corporations to benefit from streamlined communication and coordination, which simplifies the management of their IP across various markets and jurisdictions.

Managing Large Worldwide IP Portfolios

At MBM, we adapt to your needs and make the process of managing your IP portfolio as easy as possible with strategic planning, prioritizing key jurisdictions, conducting regular audits, and maintaining clear communication among teams. We know that developing a thoughtful global filing strategy and ensuring robust monitoring and enforcement enables us to manage risks, optimize the portfolio, and efficiently manage the budget. To make the management of the worldwide portfolios more efficient, we have cultivated longstanding relationships with trusted associates around the world. After 30 years in business, we are confident that the associates we work with are aligned with our standards of service, including the need for quick communication, adherence to budgets, meticulous attention to detail, and nuanced and practical, jurisdiction-specific advice.

Large Volume Discounts

At MBM, we are happy to offer volume discounts for companies that require extensive intellectual property services, including large-volume patent and trademark filings and renewals. These discounts enable our clients to allocate their budgets more efficiently and encourage them to safeguard their innovations and brands proactively.

In addition, when we work with high-volume clients, we develop deeper relationships and an understanding of their needs and goals. Creating this collaborative partnership helps our team streamline processes and communication, ensuring efficiency, consistency, and continuity in our IP services.

I have been working with MBM for years, specifically with Scott, on our trademarks, patents, and litigation. MBM is an important part of our IP team. They know our business. Their advice is spot-on, and they don’t waste our time or money. Also, communication is critical for me, so being able to pick up the phone any time to speak with them and knowing that I will get their full attention makes working with MBM a pleasure. And because they are just good people, we never miss a chance to grab dinner together when we are in the same city.

I have relied upon the MBM team for Canadian patent prosecution for over 25 years, both in private practice and now in my in-house position. The patent professionals at MBM have always been prompt, cost-effective, and reliable. More importantly, they have provided expert strategic advice when needed and pushed back if our instructions were not ideal for Canadian practice. I enthusiastically recommend MBM for Canadian patent prosecution!
