Russell Latham has been Intellectual Property Counsel at Lumentum in Ottawa, Canada since 2013. He is a Canadian lawyer and a patent and trademark agent with a degree in computer engineering. Russell uses his engineering and legal backgrounds to manage and grow Lumentum’s patent portfolio, but his primary role is more like translating between engineers and lawyers. Russell happily supports all things IP at Lumentum while being most passionate about mining inventions and reviewing patent applications.  Prior to Lumentum, Russell was in private practice as a patent and trademark attorney after walking away from software careers in various industries

If you caught Russell after work, you’d see a normal, chaotic family life, but in those rare moments in between, you might find him playing hockey, headed up to the cottage, or out for a paddle.

Russell earned his Bachelor of Applied Science, Honors Co-op, in Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo; Bachelor of Laws, Concentration in Industrial and Intellectual Property at the University of Western Ontario; and completed Law School Exchange, Concentration in U.S. Intellectual Property, at Case Western Reserve University School of Law.
