SUMMARY:Technical Licensing for Energy Projects
DESCRIPTION:Missed this webinar? Sign up to watch the recordings from the five-part series.\nIf your energy project depends on proprietary technology\, the terms of your technical license could shape the success – or constraints – of that project for years to come.  \nTechnical license agreements often contain intellectual property (IP) and confidentiality provisions that\, if not carefully negotiated\, can limit your ability to operate\, maintain\, and grow your project on your own terms. In some cases\, overly restrictive provisions can lock your organization into tied-selling or exclusivity arrangements – giving the technology owner outsized control over maintenance costs and third-party access long after the deal is signed.  \nThese challenges are compounded by the fact that nearly all modern production systems incorporate software\, firmware\, and other embedded technologies\, making equipment purchases far more complex than a straightforward procurement. Questions around ongoing maintenance commitments\, price controls\, and ownership of new technology developed during the project add further layers of negotiation.  \nJoin us for a practical\, accessible webinar that cuts through the complexity of technology licensing in the energy sector. Our panel of legal and industry professionals will walk you through the key issues\, share real-world insights\, and equip you with strategies to protect your organization’s interests while keeping your project on track.  \nOn the agenda: \n\nTechnology Licensing Agreements: An overview of how these agreements work and what to watch for in IP and confidentiality provisions.  \nCommercial and Policy Issues:  The broader commercial and policy dynamics at play between technology owners and energy project proponents\, as it relates to capture technology selection. \nIP Provisions in Energy Project Agreements: How to manage background IP\, foreground IP and rights to use\, license and commercialize technology.  \nPractical Considerations: Practical approaches to technology licensing that provide access to proprietary technologies while protecting freedom to operate and addressing long term financial and operations risk.\n\n\n\nWhy this matters for energy businesses: \n\nPoorly negotiated technology license agreements can have unintended consequences and place unreasonable limitations on the long-term operation of the project facilities. \nTechnology and IP limitations can be buried in engineering and consulting agreements creating consequences that may surface only after it is too late to address them easily. \nUnderstanding the commercial and policy considerations of technical licensing is important to support your organization’s negotiation strategy. \nThe negotiation of technology licensing agreements can be complicated and create project delays – Taking a practical and balanced approach can protect your organization’s interest and move the Energy Project forward in a timely fashion. \n\nWho should attend: \n\nGeneral counsel and in‑house legal teams \nCTOs\, VPs of technology\, engineering and R&D leaders \nExecutives involved in Energy Projects\nExecutives involved in emerging companies that are developing new technologies\n \n\nPresenters:  \nRandy Brunet\, K.C.  – Randy advises energy and technology companies on intellectual property strategy\, collaboration agreements\, risk management and transactions\, with a particular focus on protecting and maximizing the value of innovation in complex commercial environments. \nDanielle Graff – Danielle regularly provides advice in connection with transactions involving technology\, including licensing and technology transfers\, outsourcing arrangements and related procurement projects as well as joint ventures\, collaborative arrangements and mergers and acquisition deals.  \nScott Masson – Scott has over 10 years of experience working primarily in the areas of procurement\, construction\, infrastructure and project development. He has experience with large engineering\, procurement and construction projects\, with a particular emphasis on mining\, oil and gas\, energy\, civil and public infrastructure\, and power generation and transmission.  \nBreanne O’Reilly – As Chief Operating Officer at the International Carbon Capture and Storage Knowledge Centre\, Breanne spearheads transformative initiatives to advance carbon capture and storage (CCS) solutions across Canada. \n  \nEvent details:  \n\nWebinar: Tuesday\, June 16 \nTime: 11 a.m.–12 p.m. CST \nDuration: 60 minutes  |\nCost: Free and open to all registrants \n\nFormat: Live presentation + Q&A \nRegistration closes June 15\nWe reserve the right to decline registrations.

SUMMARY:Funding for Energy Innovation
DESCRIPTION:Missed this webinar? Sign up to watch the recordings from the five-part series.\nThere are numerous federal and provincial programs and incentives that support innovation in the energy sector. Federal programs include grants to advance Canada’s climate ambitions through R&D and technology deployment\, such as the Energy Innovation Program (EIP) and the Industrial Research Assistance Program (IRAP)\, along with tax incentives like the CCUS ITC. At the provincial level\, programs support innovation through grants provided by organizations like Emissions Reduction Alberta and Innovation Saskatchewan\, as well as tax credits to support capital costs\, including the Oil and Gas Processing Investment Incentive (OGPII). To support a project overall\, funding programs can often be stacked together. \nDetermining which programs best fit your needs can be complicated\, and proponents must also understand the application processes and eligible costs. \nIf you’re successful in obtaining funding\, it will be important to: \n\nReview the funding agreement carefully\nEnsure your organization is prepared to take on the project and has the appropriate safeguards in place to protect the confidentiality and ownership of any resulting technology\n\nOn the agenda:\n\nGovernment Support of New Technologies: Review of some of the key funding programs and background policy considerations for energy innovation and CCUS projects\nOrganization Readiness: Review what your organization needs to have in place prior to starting a new innovation project\nPractical Considerations: Practical considerations to get your innovation project funded and moving\n\nWhy this matters for energy businesses:\n\nIt is important to understand what funding options are available\, the timelines involved and how to frame your innovation project to move forward\nIf your organization isn’t ready for the project\, it will cause delays and may impact your IP ownership and ability to capitalize on the value of the new technology\n\nWho should attend:\nThis webinar is designed for: \n\nGeneral counsel and in house legal teams\nCTOs\, VPs of technology\, engineering and R&D leaders\nExecutives looking to take advantage of new innovations\nLeaders of emerging energy and CCUS companies\n\nPresenters:\n\nRandy Brunet\, K.C. – Randy advises energy and technology companies on intellectual property strategy\, collaboration agreements\, risk management and transactions\, with a particular focus on protecting and maximizing the value of innovation in complex commercial environments.\nBreanne O’Reilly – As Chief Operating Officer at the International Carbon Capture and Storage Knowledge Centre\, Breanne  spearheads transformative initiatives to advance carbon capture and storage (CCS) solutions across Canada.\n\nEvent details:\n\nWebinar: Tuesday\, May 5\, 2026 | 11 a.m.–12 p.m. CST\nCost: Free and open to all registrants\nFormat: Live presentation + Q&A\nRegistration closes May 4\, 2026\nWe reserve the right to decline registrations

SUMMARY:The Basics of Patents: What Energy Leaders Should Know
DESCRIPTION:Missed this webinar? Sign up to watch the recordings from the five-part series.\nPatents sit at the heart of innovation in today’s energy industry – from subsurface processes and control systems to carbon capture and grid technologies. Ultimately\, a patent is meant to allow the owner to stop competitors from using a protected invention. A strong patent can result in a legal injunction preventing competitors from practicing the claimed invention for the life of the patent\, while weak patents may provide little to no advantage whatsoever. \nPatents are not meant to be impossible to interpret and comprehend. Rather\, they are meant to provide a public notice function allowing persons of ordinary skill in the art to read and understand what the patent covers. \nWhile the scope of protection of a patent is not always clear cut\, this webinar is meant to demystify how patents work by going through the theoretical basis of patents and the practical aspects of the parts of a patent\, including their parts and how to read them. \nThis seminar will also discuss the dangers of improperly drafted patents and why a patent professional is needed to help draft and interpret patents as well as develop effective patent portfolios. In addition\, we will cover the basics of IP litigation\, how to manage litigation risk and what to do if you get a cease-and-desist letter or notice. \nOn the agenda:\n\nDifferent types of intellectual property rights: A quick overview of the different types of intellectual property rights and what they protect including how patent rights fit in with these other types of intellectual rights\nPatents – the theoretical part: The high-level ideas of what a patent is meant to be\, what rights they grant and what is required to have a patent granted for an invention\nPatents – the practical part: The parts of a patent (specification\, drawings\, claims) and the purpose of each part in the patent\nHow to determine the scope of protection granted by a patent: How claims work and how they are used to determine the protection granted by the patent\nIP litigation: How to manage litigation risk and what to do if you get a cease-and-desist letter or notice\nQ&A\n\nWhy this matters for energy businesses\nEnergy companies face freedom‑to‑operate risks creating potential operation limitations\, a dense and complicated patent landscape and constant pressure to monetize innovation while controlling litigation exposure. In addition\, M&A transactions where owners try to capitalize on the value of their inventions will include a detailed IP due diligence review and value will be lost if the inventions aren’t properly protected and documented. A clear view of patent scope and portfolio strength helps de‑risk deployments\, accelerate commercialization and protect long‑term asset value. \nWho should attend\n\nGeneral counsel and in‑house legal\nCTOs\, VPs of technology/engineering and R&D leaders\nCorporate/business development\nOperations and OT/ICS (operational technology/industrial control systems) leaders\n\nSpeakers\n\nRandy Brunet (moderator)\nAndy Chow\nScott Davidson\n\nEvent details\n\nWebinar: Tuesday\, April 7\, 2026 | 11 a.m.–12 p.m. CST\nCost: Free and open to all registrants\nFormat: Live presentation + Q&A\nRegistration closes April 6\, 2026\nWe reserve the right to decline registrations

SUMMARY:Breakfast Seminar: De-Risking Design–Bid–Build Project Delivery
DESCRIPTION:Practical Strategies for Owners\, Contractors & Advisers\nWhile alternative contract models have gained popularity in recent years\, Design–Bid–Build (DBB) continues to be the preferred project delivery method in Manitoba. \nDespite its widespread use across the construction industry\, DBB carries inherent risks. Experienced owners and contractors are likely familiar with DBB projects that have gone wrong – often due to design gaps\, unclear scope\, misaligned assumptions or poorly defined bid packages and evaluations. \nThe MLT Aikins construction group and Colliers Project Leaders are pleased to host a joint breakfast seminar exploring common pitfalls of DBB and practical strategies to de-risk projects before issues escalate. Through real-world examples and engaging discussion\, our speakers will share actionable insights to help improve DBB project outcomes. \nWhat we’ll explore:\n\nBrief overview of the DBB model and ideal use cases\nRoot causes of project risk in DBB implementation\nHow to reduce risk and uncertainty before pricing\nUsing the bid process to select the right constructor\nManaging liquidated damages and other risk transfer in the DBB context\n\nWho should attend?\n\nIn-house counsel to business procurement and construction delivery services\nLeadership teams for project owners and developers\nProject managers and contract administrators\nGeneral contractors\nProcurement and strategic sourcing professionals\n\nSpeakers:\n\nAndrew Konopelny\, partner\, MLT Aikins\nCurtis Krul\, Senior Advisor – Collaborative & Lean Project Delivery\, Colliers Project Leaders\n\nEvent details:\n\nDate: Monday\, March 16\, 2026\n\nBreakfast: 6:45–7:30 a.m.\nPresentation & panel: 7:30–9:30 a.m.\n\n\nLocation: Norwood Hotel (112 Marion Street\, Winnipeg)\nCost: $50/person\, includes hot-breakfast\nSpace is limited.
