Christina S.W. Kwok assists clients with all aspects of identifying, protecting and benefiting from their intellectual property, including patents, trademarks, industrial designs, copyright and domain names. Such matters include trademark and patentability searching and evaluations, preparing, filing and prosecuting trademark and patent applications, and advising on enforcement, infringement, licensing and technology transfer matters. She also advises on intellectual property dispute and litigation matters.
Christina works with a wide array of clients, ranging in size (from start-ups to more established companies and universities) and industry (including the life sciences, chemical and mechanical technologies). As Christina is conversant in basic Mandarin and fluent in Cantonese, some of Christina’s clients are Chinese-speaking.
Christina joined Oyen Wiggs in 2014 as an articled student and has continued on with the firm as an associate lawyer since 2015. Prior to studying law at the University of Victoria, Christina obtained a Bachelor of Science (Honours with distinction) degree in Biotechnology at the University of British Columbia and worked as a research associate at a local biotechnology company.
