Canada’s Trademarks System and COVID-19: The Silver Lining in Improving CIPO’s Services
Thursday, May 21, 2020, 1 pm - 2 pm ET
Held on Thursday, May 21, 2020, 1 pm - 2 pm ET
CIPO’s Trademarks and Industrial Designs Branch will hold a virtual town hall meeting to share what steps it continues to take to resume and adapt its services during the COVID-19 pandemic to maintain the IP rights of clients, to prevent inadvertent loss of rights, and to the extent possible provide certainty and predictability to the marketplace while harmonizing with international trading partners. The webinar will also provide some insight on what’s to come and members of the Branch will be available to answer questions.
NOTE: IPIC is charging a nominal member fee of $15.00 for COVID-19 related webinars to cover phone line and software expenses in order to continue keeping our membership informed. We will revisit that fee as we gain more experience in terms of webinar registration numbers and costs.
