Canadian Intellectual Property Office

Share it with the sweet East Coasters.

Apparently, according to Canadian Intellectual Property Office, you can trademark a phrase, but only if the public identifies it with a particular product or company.

So this woman in Ottawa, she was selling lobster rolls.

She also sells T-shirts that say sex, drugs, and lobster rolls.

I own the firearms act.

Anyone that wants to go on the intellectual property office, I'll give Melanie a link to it, can see that I am the proud owner of the firearms act.

So now I'm like the dog that's chased a car and the car stops.

Now what? Now what do I do? Well, I don't care.

I own 37 laws.

If someone watching this has a good plan for what to do with them, I own them.

So you can go on the Intellectual Property Office of Canada, their website.

I'll send you the link.

We have topics on patents, trademarks, industrial designs, trade secrets, AI, corporate IP management.

I'm pleased to announce we have keynote addresses by the CEO of the Canadian Intellectual Property Office, as well as a keynote address from the Director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

And then for fun and for networking and connections, we have a gala dinner on Monday night at Steam Whistle Brewery.

I understand located near CN Tower and the Blue Jays Stadium.

We talked about a lot of AI and AI use within the offices and within industry.

We had a great celebration of the 20th anniversary of Patent Prosecution Highway.

And we were fortunate to have some insights shared by one of the senior folks at the Canadian Intellectual Property Office about Patent Prosecution Highway.

So there's a lot of great things happening on the international stage.

We need people who understand how this stuff works, who can then advise local police forces that are dealing with art fraud and art crime issues.

I've proposed also, you know, I went to the Canadian Senate a few years ago and did a presentation on a proposal that the Canadian Intellectual Property Office create a sort of new division that is devoted to an art registry so that people could, artists, for example, as they create artworks, could register their artworks officially with this government kind of database.

And then the transactions in that art could be traced and registered as they went through successive owners.

And that would solve a couple of problems.
