Goudreau Gage Dubuc - Our Association

GGD’s New Litigation Group Continues to Score Victories!

We are pleased to announce an important win for one of our clients, a developer and manufacturer of transportation technology. The Superior Court of Quebec upheld the confidentiality and non-competition clauses in our client’s contract and awarded significant damages against a consultant who breached those provisions by designing and marketing a competing product using our client’s trade secrets.

This was a team victory, the fruit of active client collaboration, precise research and deft court skills. Together, we were able to simplify complex technological issues and to demonstrate our client’s good faith and credibility.

GGD is continuing its growth as a specialized intellectual property firm. While the firm has been in operation for the past 40 years, the litigation group is brand new.

Mtre Greg Moore, the partner responsible for the litigation group, and Mtre Chantal Desjardins, who heads the trade-mark group and is the firm’s co-managing partner, recently scored an important victory for a client in the agri-food industry. The client was threatened with an interim injunction that would have forced it to remove several hundred thousand units of its product from store shelves. The Court rejected the request for the injunction, to the great relief of the client. According to Mtre Moore, "We’re working hard to develop a reputation as specialists in intellectual property litigation. We’ll get there thanks to the meticulous preparation of our files – preparation which is the result of close collaboration between our clients and our experienced in-house patent and trade-mark specialists."

GGD’s patent practice is also experiencing strong growth. We have 10 patent agents recognized by the Canadian Intellectual Property Office, which ranks us second in Quebec. According to Mtre Alain Leclerc, the partner responsible for the patent group and co-managing partner, "our attractiveness in the marketplace is responsible for our accelerating growth. Nevertheless, we focus our efforts on quality work and let our growth occur naturally."
