On Thursday, October 12, Lorraine Pinsent from the firm’s Calgary office will present at the Intellectual Property Institute of Canada (IPIC) Annual Meeting.
The three-day event – described as the most important IP conference in Canada – takes place in Niagara Falls, ON.
As part of the Trademarks stream, Lorraine will present on “Sounds, Scents, Flavours – An Update on Non-Traditional Marks in Canada, the US and the EU.” She and two other distinguished panellists will discuss the state of the law in Canada, Europe and the U.S. on registrability and enforceability of non-traditional marks, and will share their predictions and recommendations for the future.
