Jayde Wood is an IP lawyer, patent agent, and trademark agent in Gowling WLG's Vancouver office. She advises companies from startups to multinationals across the IP lifecycle, with a practice spanning prosecution, portfolio strategy, and commercialization. Jayde manages global patent, design, and trademark portfolios and is known for turning complex science and market goals into clear, defensible IP positions.
