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
