The past few years have seen many
changes in IP. Some of it is driven by treaty implementation. Other
changes are driven by government initiatives that try to modernize
and strengthen IP, or improve fairness. The result has been that IP
practices appear to have become more complex across the board.
The Toronto Computer Lawyer's
Group ("TCLG") is having a lunch seminar
on this issue November 27, 2019, called "Impact of Amendments

of TD Bank Group, Victor Krichker of Bereskin & Parr LLP and
Tony Turco of Blakes (the author of this article is the
moderator). The Chair of TCLG, Conrad Lee of McCarthys, says,
"The seminar is intended to shed some light on the practical
implications of recent changes to IP practices and to discuss some
operational changes that a business may want to implement in
response to such changes."
