Neil Padgett, PEng
I'm Neil, a patent and trademark attorney in Toronto, Canada.
As Associate General Counsel, Intellectual Property, I lead the intellectual property team at Shopify. I shape Shopify's IP strategy, manage its worldwide IP portfolio, and provide critical legal and strategic advice on all aspects of IP.
I have been recognized by IAM Media in its Strategy 300 as one of the world's leading IP stategists.
As a lawyer in Canada and the US and an experienced engineer, I bring a unique, integrated perspective to solving the most challenging IP problems in technology and commerce.
Before I entered the world of law and intellectual property, I worked in software engineering.
