Ollip Intellectual Property and Technology Law

I am in the exclusive handbag bag accessories business and was experiencing some “strong-arm” legal tactics from a large, multi-national corporation and its lawyers against my small business. We had been fighting on and off over the years. Bayo and OLLIP helped me come up with a strategy that brought the multi-national to the table. Despite the multi-national’s lawyer’s aggressive behaviour and refusal to deal , Bayo remained a gentlemen and got the deal done. I could not have asked for a better outcome.

I worked with Ollip to secure my trademarks both in the US and Canada for my small business. Though the process was long and hard, Ollip was there throughout the way to support all the examiners reports and objections so that we secured a trademark that really is an asset to my business. Bayo is not only a highly professional and competent lawyer, he's also humane and understands the struggles that small business owners go through in building their business. He takes on the work of his clients very seriously and personally. It is literally like having a family member be your lawyer. How lucky we got for our business!

Our company worked with Bernadette Sisk at OLLIP to secure our trademark in Canada. When the firm reached out to us following the examiner's first report and objections, we were assured that they consider examiner's reports very carefully, and will work with companies that they believe have a reasonable chance of success. They really don't want to drag you unnecessarily through a process that can be long and expensive. After submitting their first rebuttal, they received another set of objections from the examiner. While we may have been ready to give up, OLLIP and Bernadette truly believed that our success was within reach, and proceeded with yet another response. Bottom line: if you want to secure your trademark, this is the firm you need to have on your side to see you through the process. Looking back at the quality of their work, and the exceptional level of thoroughness, communication, and care with which they approached our case, we know that OLLIP is the only reason we have our trademark today. We are very grateful!

I have worked with Ollip for 20 years, they helped secure my family business' corporate trademarks, resist attacks against them, launch attacks against others and successfully negotiated over a 5 month period the sale of my company’s intellectual property. I've worked with several law firms in Canada but when it came to my trademarks, I always relied on Ollip.The team is very responsive and always a pleasure to deal with. They took care of the stressful stuff so that my family could focus on the day to day business business operations.

COVID put us in a difficult financial situation. Prioritizing between paying suppliers or maintaining our brands, is fortunately a choice we did not have to make. When COVID hit and we faced financial difficulties, Ollip stepped up to the plate and agreed to take on our trademark cases on a pro-bono basis. Without their help, we would have lost our brands.

I honestly get a letter every 3-4 months. It looks legit but when I open it, it’s spam. Not only that, these guys keep sending it to me after I’ve asked them to stop... they‘re now sending it to my house.Enough already!
