Great to get to know the Studio Briefings team and their colleagues at the Practising Law Institute (PLI) during a recent visit to moderate a panel discussion featuring IP developments and institutions in Canada. The upcoming episode in the Global IP Spotlight series features:

Mesmin Pierre, Director General, Canadian Intellectual Property Office / Office de la propriété intellectuelle du Canada
Anthony Prenol, Partner, CPST Intellectual Property
Chelsea Nimmo, Counsel, Burnet, Duckworth & Palmer LLP
Stephanie Vaccari, Partner, Baker McKenzie
Richard Gold, James McGill Professor of Law, McGill University – Faculty of Law
Catherine Lovrics, Partner, Marks & Clerk

Topics spanned trademark and copyright reforms, patent examination trends, regulatory modernization, litigation tactics, international IP frameworks, and the growing policy dimensions of innovation governance. We closed with a fast-paced lightning round offering practical tips, surprising insights, and a glimpse at what’s next for IP in Canada. Happy to represent Penn State Dickinson Law in this series. Great insights to share with our students.
