Recent and Upcoming Changes in the Canadian IP Landscape & IPIC Update

The state of intellectual property law in Canada is in constant flux, and this has never been more true than today. Whether dealing with challenges to the patentability of software, international trade agreements that could dramatically impact copyright and pharmaceutical protection, or the validity of a patent on a “little blue pill”, the modern practitioner must be keenly aware of changes to the Canadian IP landscape.

The KWIPG is therefore delighted to present Roseann Caldwell, IPIC president and a partner with Bennett Jones LLP, who will try to help us make sense of some of these changes. Ms. Caldwell will be joined by Michel Gérin, executive director of IPIC, to give an update on IPIC’s recent activities.

Date: Monday, December 10, 2012 
Time: 12:00pm to 1:30pm
Location: Miller Thomson LLP
Accelerator Building
295 Hagey Blvd., Suite 300
Waterloo, ON
N2L 6R5
(519) 579.3660

Registration is $20, which covers the cost of lunch. Please RSVP to kwipgroup@gmail.com by Friday, November 30, 2012 to confirm your attendance. Everyone is welcome.
