IP Litigation and Enforcement: Playing Offence and Defence to Win with IP

In today's competitive innovation economy, companies across industries face a wide range of potential legal issues and risks related to intellectual property (IP). Whether it is infringement of a valuable patented technology, unlawful use of key trademarks or copyrights, or anti-counterfeiting and IP crime, when IP issues arise, in-house counsel need to be ready to face off against competitors and fiercely defend the commercial IP rights of their business.

Join us for an engaging roundtable discussion with our diverse panel of in-house counsel and IP litigators from Smart & Biggar LLP as they share lessons learned from the front lines of IP enforcement and litigation matters. The panel, moderated by Urszula Wojtyra, Partner at Smart & Biggar, will include Cameron Weir, Senior Counsel at Reckitt Benckiser (Canada), Denise Lacombe, Head of Legal at AstraZeneca Canada and Michael Okerlund, formerly in-house at Huffy Corporation and Arctic Cat, now CEO of Cloud Court Inc.

Learn from their first-hand experience on how to leverage and protect your company's valuable portfolio to win with IP.
