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.
