Don Cameron
Counsel
About Donald
Don is Counsel with Bereskin & Parr LLP and a member of the Litigation, Patents, Trademarks and Copyright & Digital Media practice groups.
Don has participated in intellectual property law litigation involving a broad range of technologies and businesses including bio-engineering, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals electromagnetic fields and induction, semiconductor chip fabrication, telecommunications, mechanical devices, and computer databases. He was a senior trial counsel in Canada’s first DNA patent trial and appeal and first all electronic trial.
Don still enjoys running/jogging, swimming, tennis and all things Feynman, and increasingly enjoys time with his grandchildren. I love to teach (U of T Patent & Trade Secrets Law since 1993; Osgoode Hall LLM Patent Law since 2007), but hate to mark. The “Rumpole of the Bailey” series of books/shows has been my favourite – surprising true to life as a barrister.
