Marks & Clerk partners lead sessions in trademarks and copyright at the 2022 IPIC/McGill summer IP Courses

11 July 2022, 09.30 ET (UTC -5)
McGill University
Share

Canadian partners, Amrita V. Singh and Catherine (Cat) Lovrics will participate as instructors in the 2022 Intellectual Property Institute of Canada/McGill University summer IP courses. These courses will be offered in person between July 11 – 27. Participants will gain knowledge of specific aspects of IP, acquire the insights needed to protect a portfolio of intellectual property, and/or advance their careers in the area of IP law.

Understanding Trademarks

This practical course will provide insight on how to protect a brand’s most valuable asset. It is more important than ever to learn the nuances associated with the many different ways to distinguish a brand’s goods and services from others, and understand what you can and cannot register, and respond to Examiners’ reports, opposition proceedings and enforcement/litigation issues post-registration.

Amrita V. Singh will lead ‘Overview of Trademark Litigation in Canada – Infringement, Passing Off & Depreciation of Goodwill’, on July 14, as part of Module 2.  Amrita will discuss:

  • Enforcement strategies for registered and common law trademark
  • Causes of actions: infringement, passing-off, depreciation of goodwill
  • Marshalling relevant evidence for proof of infringement
  • Defence strategies to challenge distinctiveness and validity
  • Counterfeiting issues in Canada
  • Remedies (Anton Piller Orders, injunctions, recovery of damages or profits, destructions, customs remedies)
  • Domain name disputes

Copyright Master Class

Copyright law has become a key consideration in a large number of areas of our society and economy. At the same time, it is becoming more complex, as legislators, courts, public institutions and businesses all struggle to address the impact of new technologies, new uses and new legal issues. This course will provide practical insights into the impact of these changes and how to deal with them.

Catherine (Cat) Lovrics will lead the ‘Social Media, Virtual & Augmented Reality, and Video Games’ course on July 27th and will touch on the following topics:

  • Video game clearance
  • Technological protection measures
  • Clickwrap and browse-wrap agreements
  • Online enforcement
