Jun. 1, 2025 - Announcement: Andrew is retiring from patent practice

After over a decade of being the sole patent agent at ATMAC and over two decades of working in the patent industry, I have a big announcement: I am retiring from patent practice and will be transitioning to new adventures outside of intellectual property.

Our successor agent

I'm excited to also announce that Altitude IP Inc (https://www.altitude-ip.com/) has agreed to be our successor agent. Altitude IP is an independent, boutique IP firm here in Calgary founded by William Murphy, Melanie Schultz, and Mark Roach.
