Over the course of his fifteen-plus years as an in-house counsel in the pharmaceutical and consumer goods industries (including a major Fortune 500 company), Tom has led strategic IP procurement, commercialization and enforcement on behalf of his clients. His extensive experience allows his clients to trust his ability to anticipate their needs and provide timely, holistic and commercially relevant legal advice.
Global experience in IP strategy and across industries with an in-house perspective
Tom’s expertise includes world-wide patent application drafting and prosecution, holistic patent strategy counseling, negotiation and preparation of complex intellectual property and license agreements, and M&A due diligence. Furthermore, he has provided legal and strategic counseling to senior/executive management on all types of IP-related issues including global freedom-to-market for successful market launch, invalidity and freedom-to-operate and dispute resolution.
Tom is licensed to practice law in Canada and the United States and is a registered U.S. patent agent, and also practiced as a trademark and patent agent in Canada earlier in his career. His experience covers the pharmaceutical chemical and consumer goods (beauty care, oral care, home care, fabric care and fine fragrance) patent fields. He specializes in chemical compositions, surfactant chemistry, small molecules (NCEs), enzyme technologies, formulation and delivery systems, manufacturing processes and apparatuses, packaging, commercial innovations (demo tools) and industrial designs.
