Intellectual Property & Entrepreneurship in Canada

March 23, 2021

Entrepreneurship is an important part of growing one’s economy. Studies show that entrepreneurship can be learned, it is a skill. In Canada, one of the things that has been holding our entrepreneurs back is intellectual property and data protection.

This webinar will focus on the importance of IP protection for entrepreneurship. In particular, we discuss the intellectual property environment in Canada and existing support for firms. Panelists discuss issues relating to their firm’s ability to secure IP especially as it relates to IP education and the role of government in supporting IP protection.
