IP Issues in Canada & Canada's Anti-Spam Laws

Companies who seek to protect intellectual property in Canada and abide by the Canadian anti-spam laws may assume that the same rights are applied in Canada as the United States. This course provides information and insights for U.S. companies (and individuals) regarding topics relating to intellectual property protection in Canada and the newly introduced anti-spam laws of Canada. 

In this program, Miller Thomson lawyer, patent agent and trademark agent Dr. Karen Durell discusses and provides information about various types of intellectual property protection in Canada, including trademark, patent, copyright and industrial design protection, as well as anti-spam laws in force in Canada (as of 2014 and early 2015). In particular, the program highlights how laws in force in Canada differ from similar laws applied in the U.S.
